Numismatics

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). 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.

The Indian Quarter 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 de¬sign and have no raised edge. This is called an “incuse de¬sign”. In fact, this $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle carries the distinc¬tion of being one of only two designs in American history to use an incuse design. The other is the $5 Indian Half Eagle. The decision to strike coins like this was not well re¬ceived when they came out. However, today they are beloved by collectors. Having their production ceased in 1929, the $5 Indian Half Eagle was in production for barely 15 years, meaning that there aren’t many on the market. Out of over 500,000 coins minted, less than 1% of those coins have achieved the MS64 grade by PCGS, making this piece highly desirable by collectors.

By the end of the month, a total of 124,000 ounces worth of gold had been ordered, topping the prior year's total by more than 53%. During the year the mint produced 925,000 one-tenth ounces Gold Eagles and less than 3% have received the perfect Mint State 70 grade by NGC. This piece is beautifully stuck and highly lustrous. Furthermore, the label is hand-signed by former U.S Mint director Edmund Moy who was also named one of the most influential people in numismatics by Coin World. Don’t miss out on a chance to own a key date in the series.

In 2002 Gold Eagle bullion coins experienced an uptick in interest based on a surge in the price of Gold. However, the mintage for the tenth-ounce piece dropped by nearly 15% when compared to the previous year. Just over 230,000 tenth-ounce pieces were minted and less than 3% of these pieces have received the perfect grade of 70 by NGC. This coin features eye-catching luster, and strong detail throughout. This piece is a must-add to any collection.

The year 2008 was one that most people will remember. The United States was facing tumultuous economic times. The global financial crisis created a wave interest in gold bullion as investors sought safe-haven assets. This spike also caused Gold Eagle bullion and collector coin sales to dramatically increase. For example, during the first six months of the year, 2008 Gold Eagle bullion coins sold around the typical levels of the previous years. Starting after mid-year, sales increased exponentially which forced the U.S Mint to suspend gold bullion coin sales in August. Sales resumed two weeks later on a rationed basis, which limited the number of coins that could be ordered by authorized dealers. Despite the suspension and rationing, sales had exceeded 800,000 cumulative ounces by the year's end. The tenth-ounce gold eagle represented about 4% of overall sales with just over 300,000 pieces minted and less than 1% of pieces receiving the perfect grade of 70 by NGC.

In 2004, overall sales of Gold Eagles saw an increase, and the mintage for the tenth-ounce piece saw an increase with just over 250,000 coins produced. These coins are scarce in perfect Mint State 70 graded by NGC with less than 1% of tenth-ounce coins receiving the perfect mark. This perfectly struck coin shines with original mint luster and is a great addition to any collection.

2008 marked the final year of production for the fractional denominations in the Burnished Gold Eagle series. The mint produced a total of 8,883 quarter-ounce pieces, which at the time was the lowest mintage for any Gold Eagle. Burnished Gold American Eagles feature a “W” mintmark, which represents U.S Mint at West Point, NY. This is widely considered as one of the most unique gold coins the U.S. Mint has ever produced. The coins are minted using a specialized process to create a burnished finish, each coin is certified MS70/SP70. The commonly used word “burnished” comes from the thoroughly polished coin blanks that are individually hand-fed into coining presses. Although similar in appearance to American Eagle Bullion Coins, these uncirculated/burnished coins are distinguished by the presence of a mintmark and the use of burnished blanks which produce more of a matte finish. The strike is sharp, and the fields are flawless.

The year 2020 is one that the world will not forget. The precious metals market saw a tremendous spike in demand, especially the Gold market. The Mint produced almost three times as many half-ounce pieces compared to the previous year. Even though there was a spike in demand and production less than 3% of these beautiful coins have achieved the perfect grade of 70 by NGC. This coin features a flawless strike with beautiful original mint luster and is a must-own for any collection.

Born from Mint Error! It is widely believed, due to the incredible demand for gold bullion experienced this year, another unusual error or variety coin was created. The 2021-W T-2 $10 Gold American Eagle Struck with Unfinished Proof Dies are bullion coins that included the “W” mint mark below the date. Although not every collector is aware of these unusual coins, they represent a major rarity within the American Gold Eagle series. It is generally believed that the dies intended for striking proof versions of the coin were inadvertently placed into service for bullion coins. These dies did not receive the final finishing treatment which results in coins struck with a cameo finish, however, the coins did include the “W” mintmark. The mistake was recently discovered. The total number of coins that were minted is still a mystery. This is a key coin in the series and a must-own for any collection.
