1808/7 NGC AU58 $5 Liberty

 16875 USD

One major variety is the 1808/7 Capped Bust $5 Gold Half Eagle featuring an 1808 date struck over an 1807 date. The "8 Over 7" variety can be identified by noting a small portion of the underlying "7" being seen around the top half of the last "8" in the 1808 date. Depicted below is an example closeup image of the overdate - notice the portions of the underlying "7" depicted by the arrows. Over 55,000 half eagles were struck in 1808 and only 14 coins have received the AU58 grade from NGC.

America’s largest circulating gold coin was the double eagle or $20 piece, born in the exciting years of the great California Gold Rush. The new mines yielded the greatest mass of gold in recorded history. Vast quantities of the yellow metal helped to speed development of the American West and had far-reaching effects on the world’s coinage. The U.S. Mint issued its first Gold coins in 1795. In 1853 the New Orleans Mint produced just over 71,000 $20 Gold Liberty’s and less than 1% of those coins struck have received the AU55 grade from NGC.

In 1879 the Philadelphia Mint produced just over 1,700,000 $20 Gold Liberty’s and less than 1% of those coins struck have received the MS62 grade from PCGS. These double eagles were minted with both "Open 3" and "Closed 3". For the Philadelphia Mint issues the Open 3 is common and the Closed 3 is scarce. But how can one tell the difference? Look at the larger ball at the lower curve of the 3. The diameter of the ball is about the same size as the opening and would just pass through it. On the closed 3, the lower ball would not pass through the constricted opening.

In the United States, Mint engraver Christian Gobrecht was strongly influenced by Neoclassicism, which was especially apparent in his use of the classically stylized head of Liberty on the Coronet half eagle, which replaced the Classic Head design in 1839. The obverse design of the new coin featured Liberty’s hair tied in a bun and secured by a string of beads. She also wore a coronet in her hair inscribed with the word Liberty. In 1886, the San Francisco Mint struck over 3 million Liberty half eagles and only 79 pieces have been stickered by the Certified Acceptance Corporation in MS64. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces.

The $10 Gold Liberty was produced from 1838-1907. The mintages of these beautiful pieces are as low as 100 coins to quantities stretching into the millions. The design was created by Christian Gobrecht, who was inspired by the portrait of Venus in Benjamin West’s Painting Omnia Vincit Amor (Love Conquers All). This design also was also used for the half-eagle and large cent of 1839. In 1897 the Mint Struck over 1 million $10 Gold Liberty’s and only 47 pieces have been stickered by the Certified Acceptance Corporation. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces.

Collect Rare Gold Coins

We have plenty of numismatic gold coins available, from the smallest .10 oz Gold Eagles to full 1 oz. Gold Eagles, and in numerous denominations and years. We typically sell .10 oz, .25 oz, .50 oz, and 1 oz sets or years-ranging sets. For example, one popular option is our 1988-2021 NGC PF70 $50 Gold American Eagle Collection. 

We don’t just have MS-70s, either. We’ve noticed a spike in sales for MS-69s (the second highest grade), so we often have these gold numismatics in stock as well.

Some of the most beautiful modern coins that the U.S Mint has ever struck are in the High Relief series. Here at Endeavor Metals Group, we stock a variety of high-relief numismatic gold coins for numismatists seeking beautiful collector’s pieces. Known for their raised details above the traditional coin’s surface, the texture and radiance are what make (ultra) high-relief numismatics the most stunning coins we’ve ever laid eyes on. And we’re sure you will agree when they are in your collection!

At Endeavor Metals, we stock the best of the best. This means coins that are rare but also have exceptional strike, luster, tone, eye appeal, and surface preservation.

Why Buy Rare Gold Coins?

Gold numismatics are a unique investment vehicle because they usually possess a higher value beyond the intrinsic value of the gold from which they are made. Investors and collectors buy numismatic gold coins because of their rarity. As rare, low-population coins become increasingly difficult to obtain, their worth naturally rises.

If your goal is simply to invest in gold bullion, gold bars or gold coins may be a better option for you. However, if you’re interested in learning more about the rewarding experience of coin collecting, numismatics are a superb choice.

FAQs: Gold Numismatics

What are numismatic gold coins?

Gold numismatics refer to rare, commemorative, antique, and low-population coins that are valued as collectibles.

Should I buy rare gold coins or gold bullion?

Both offer their own unique benefits. So it depends on your financial goals — do you want to own collectibles or precious metals? 

Numismatics are more volatile than bullion as their value isn’t only tied to their precious metals content, but also their scarcity, condition, and market demand. 

Gold bullion coins and bullion bars are famously stable, but their growth potential isn’t as high. Both offer much-needed diversification to a portfolio.

How are numismatic gold coins graded?

Numismatics are graded by trusted third-party services like the PCGS and NGC, according to the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale. The scale runs from 0-70, with a 70 signifying that the coin is in flawless condition. 

Factors that affect a coin’s grade include its strike, luster, coloration, preservation, and general eye appeal.

What are sets?

Many collectors enjoy building sets of specific coins. For example, they may try to own American Gold Eagles in all sizes — .10 oz, .25 oz, .50 oz, and 1 oz. Or they may try to own all coins from a sequential range of dates, such as our popular 1988-2021 NGC PF70 $50 Gold American Eagle Collection.

How do I know if a coin is authentic?

It’s critical that you only buy numismatic gold coins from reputable dealers that are trusted by the numismatic community and third-party organizations.
