Numismatic Coins

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 1900 the Mint produced just over 1,800,000 $20 Gold Liberty’s and only 2 coins have received the MS64+ grade by PCGS or NGC. Also, PCGS has assigned this piece a + grade, only coins at the high end of their assigned grade which are approaching the quality requirements for the next grade can receive this designation. In addition to their superior technical merit, coins that receive a + must have above-average eye appeal. Furthermore, the grade of the coin has been verified by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). 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.
