Just 1 Graded Higher – 1859 Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS61

A low-mintage issue with a production of only 43,517 coins, the 1859 double eagle is a scarce issue that emerges as an important condition rarity in Mint State grades. Only 13 pieces are NGC and PCGS-graded MS60 or finer, and none have been examined at either grading service above MS62 (3/23). The 1859 has the lowest combined NGC and PCGS Mint State population of any Type One double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint aside from the 1861 Paquet rarity, and it boasts the 12th lowest Mint State population of all Type One double eagles. This lustrous orange-gold example shows grade-limiting marks but features a solid strike and excellent eye appeal. Rarely did an important collection from generations ago have a Mint State example of the 1859 double eagle. The NGC population is a mere 4 with 1 (MS62 example) graded higher.

1929 $20 Saint Gaudens – PCGS MS64

After numerous common date Philadelphia Mint double eagles were issued through 1928, mintages continued at substantial levels in 1929 and beyond. However, beginning in 1929 these pieces were not widely distributed, but rather, were stored in Treasury vaults awaiting their fate in the government melting pots of the mid and late-1930s. In Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins,  Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth wrote: “Beginning with the 1929 double eagle and continuing through the 1933 issue, any collector who undertakes obtaining these issues does so with extreme care and financial fortitude.”
The existing population of these pieces today survives from those few coins obtained by contemporary collectors, or from a small additional number of pieces that have been found in Europe. According to Roger Burdette, the maximum number of 1929 double eagles that could have survived is 1,176 pieces with the estimated survival of only 350 pieces.

The current PCGS population is 88 with 44 graded higher.

Just 2 Graded Higher – 1913 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle

A relatively modest business-strike mintage of 168,838 Saint-Gaudens double eagles was accomplished at the Philadelphia Mint in 1913. The coins were produced in nine deliveries, spaced throughout the year. Most of the coins were sent to European and Latin American destinations, and Roger W. Burdette estimates about 5,000 examples have been repatriated from overseas sources in recent times. Most examples seen are in lower Mint State grades, with the expected number of bagmarks from rough storage and transport. The 1913 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a rare issue at the MS65 grade level, and finer coins are virtually unobtainable.

The NGC population is 22 with 2 graded higher.

1874-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU58

The Carson City Mint struck a substantial mintage of 115,085 Liberty double eagles in 1874, but the survival rate for the issue is below average. In The Confident Carson City Coin Collector , Rusty Goe notes less than 2% of the reported mintage is extant today, and many of those coins were repatriated from foreign holdings in recent years. The 1874-CC is popular with branch mint type collectors, but it remains an elusive issue at the AU58 grade level, and Mint State specimens are rareThe one offered here is noticeably lighter in color and more lustrous than seen in our images.

Gem 1912 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65

The 1912 Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a smallish mintage of 149,750 coins. Its certified population totals in MS62 and MS63 are relatively pedestrian — about a couple thousand each — but the issue becomes more challenging in MS64, scarce in MS65, and rare in MS66 or better. What also stands out about the 1912 is its status as the only Saint issue for the year. There are no branch mint coins to supplement the population of Philadelphia representatives. The one offered here displays clean surfaces and a delightful, satiny appearance.

The PCGS population is 42 with 18 graded higher – none finer than MS66.

Listed at $31,200 in the CDN CPG and $35,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Highly Pleasing Scarcity – 1861 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS64

The 1861 Liberty double eagle is one of the most popular type coins among No Motto issues, struck to the extent of more than 2.9 million coins. Prior to the discovery of the  S.S. Central America and its hold of thousands of 1857-S and 1856-S double eagles, the 1861 was recognized as the most plentiful Type One issue in high grade. Nonetheless, near-Gem pieces such as this one, are conditionally scarce, and finer examples are rare.

Contrary to how the coin appears in pour images, it’s uniform in color and of the lighter yellow-gold color that shows. The PCGS population is 13 with 8 graded higher.

Scarce Civil War Issue – 1862 Liberty Double Eagle NGC XF45

The economic stresses and uncertainties of the Civil War resulted in widespread hoarding of all precious metal coinage and the government suspended specie payments in late 1861. These circumstances resulted a drastic reduction of coinage in 1862, and the Philadelphia Mint struck a modest business-strike mintage of only 92,133 double eagles that year. The coins were largely ignored by contemporary collectors and few were saved for numismatic purposes. Unlike some other dates of this period, only a handful of examples have been recovered from shipwreck finds in recent years. Todaythe 1862 Liberty double eagle is one of the most elusive issues in the Type One series. The NGC population is 23 with 74 graded higher.

Rare 1927-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS62+

Along with its famed Denver Mint brethren, the 1927-S represents one of the first late-date melt rarities in the series. Branch mint double eagles from the 1920s tend to be elusive across the board (aside from the 1923-D), but the 1927 issues take it to the next level. The 1927-S was struck to the extent of 3.1 million coins, but that figure is entirely misleading when it comes to estimating the issue’s availability. According to the research of Dr. Charles W. Green in the late 1940s, only 3,750 pieces were officially dispersed from Treasury vaults. A small number made their way to Europe where they were preserved until being resold on the American market in the mid-20th century. The vast majority of coins that remained in the United States after the Gold Recall of 1933 were converted into gold bars. Probably no more than 250 pieces and possibly as few as 200 coins survive.

The NGC population is 39 with 45 graded higher.

Listed at $54,000 (in MS62) in the CDN CPG and $53,500 (in MS62+) in the NGC price guide.
