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 1906, the Denver Mint Struck over 300,000 $10 Gold Liberty’s and only 3 pieces have been stickered by the Certified Acceptance Corporation in AU58. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces. They are a third party that verifies previously graded coins and award their sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer. Furthermore, this piece has received the Gold CAC sticker which means the coin exceeds the current grade of the holder. Lastly, this piece is in a classic NGC fatty holder.
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 1907, the Philadelphia Mint struck over 600,000 Liberty half eagles and only 21 pieces have been stickered by the Certified Acceptance Corporation in MS62.

The Gold Liberty Quarter Eagle is the longest-running in the series of $2.50 Gold coins produced by the Mint. The design was created by the revered Christian Gobrecht, the Chief Engraver for the Mint. An interesting fact about the Liberty Quarter Eagle, it did not receive the motto “In God We Trust” following the Civil War like some of the larger denominations with the same design. 1907 was the final year of production for the Quarter Gold Liberty and the Mint produced over 336,000 pieces. Only 317 coins have received the MS64 grade by NGC. Furthermore, the grade of the coin has been verified by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC).

Arguably the most beautiful coin ever designed is the $20 Gold Saint Gaudens. The Saint Gaudens obverse features a full-length portrait of Liberty grasping a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The coin’s reverse depicts a breathtaking eagle in flight—perhaps the most spectacular likeness of the nation’s official emblem ever to grace a U. S. coin or medal. In 1908 the Mint produced over 4 million $20 Saint Gaudens and this piece have has been certified as MS65 by NGC.
The Indian Half Eagle was first released in 1908. What makes this coin unique in American numismatics is how the fields of the coin are raised higher than the rest of the coin’s design and have no raised edge. This is called an “incuse design”. In fact, this $5 Indian Quarter Eagle carries the distinction of being one of only two designs in American history to use an incuse design. The other is the $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle. The decision to strike coins like this was not well received when they came out. However, today they are beloved by collectors. The Indian Half Eagle was produced form 1908-1916, and then returned for one final year of production in 1929. Needless to say, there aren’t many on the market. The San Francisco Mint Struck only 82,000 pieces in 1908, less than 1% of those coins have achieved the AU58 grade by NGC, making this piece highly desirable by collectors.

In 1910, only 682 quarter eagles were struck at the Mint in Philadelphia and only 8 coins have received the PF67 grade by NGC, making this coin a true rarity in the series. Furthermore, this coin has been assigned the trademarked Star (★) Designation by NGC. Coins with this designation must have exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade. Eye appeal is the most subjective attribute of a coin, but there are many standards shared by numismatists. Exceptional eye appeal may include attributes such as vibrant, colorful toning; intense luster; or, in the case of Proof coins, especially strong cameo contrast.

For example, a coin graded NGC PF 67+ is close to the quality of a coin graded NGC PF68. In addition to their superior technical merit, coins that receive a + must have above-average eye appeal.

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