Double Eagle Gold Coins

Question by viking_no3: Any idea how much a 1924 double eagle gold piece is worth?
I'm just curious as to it's value. It was my mom's and was given to me after she passed away in 1995. It was minted on the same year as her birth. I'm not thinking of selling it. Just curious as to its value. I think those coins were 22k and it is on a long heavy 18k gold chain.

Question by Anon: 1924 gold 20 dollar coin?
My auntie has a 1924 Gold 20 Dollar coin and wants to sell it, where in the UK buys such coins? and how much is is worth??

Answer by curtisports2
I can't give you any information about coin dealers in the UK, but if you can be on the internet doing this, you can certainly be on the internet looking for coin dealers in your area.

As for value, this is a St Gaudens double eagle, considered by many collectors to be one of the most beautiful coins ever made. Because of this, they are very sought after, and they always command a premium over the price of the gold alone, unless they have been handled a lot and show considerable wear. Most were not, because, even in the roaring 1920s, was a good chunk of money and these coins didn't see much circulation.

The amount of premium depends upon the grade, with each step up in grade increasing the price. You may want to consider submitting it to one of the US based graders, either PCGS or SGC. This will cost you some money, but it's very safe if you do it through a reputable dealer. The difference between a coin that is Mint State 65 in a dealer's opinion and one that's MS65 in the opinion of the grading company can be as much as 0, which pays for the grading with a nice bit left over for you.

The minimum these coins are bringing in very nice shape, ungraded, on eBay, is roughly 875 British pounds (a bit over 00 US), while the market price for gold is right around 800 pounds (00), give or take a few. The average seems to be about 00 US or 930 pounds. A dealer won't pay you that much. But stay away from any dealer who insists on paying less than gold market price. I wouldn't take any less than 850 pounds. Don't forget that on an eBay sale, you're going to pay close to 10% in total sale and payment processing fees by the time you're done, so to net 850 pounds you'd have to get a sale of 940 or so.

Question by sigma53sa: How much can I expect to receive from a coin shop if I sell my 1997 American Gold Eagle coins.?

Best answer:

Answer by BD in NM
American Gold Eagles sell based on bullion prices. Today gold closed at 5. A coin dealer is going to discount that price so he will have a margin to work with when he tries to resell the coin. My guess would be somewhere between 0 and 0.

Question by tigerhuy: Why does a 1 oz silver American eagle coin appear larger than a 1 oz gold American eagle?
Is the gold a more dense metal? Or is is simply an optical illusion and the thickness is actually greater on the gold coin?

Best answer:

Answer by Ben P
Yes, gold weighs more than silver. 1 oz. of silver would be bigger.

Question by eroskcus: Can someone help me with identifying a coin?
This coin is from 1895. It has no writings on it except a "20" in the middle and the year under that. On the obverse site there is a double-headed eagle holding a sward and a round sceptre with a cross on top of it. No country name, no currency name -- nothing. Very weird...

Best answer:

Answer by Cole S
If there isn't a country name or a currency name, it probably isn't a coin. It's either a token or medal. If you want to find out more, try the Standard Catalog of World Coins by Colin R. Bruce II if it is a foreign coin. There are also specific books for tokens and medals. It might be Russian since it has the double-headed eagle.

Question by Gold Coin Dealer: If you were going to buy a Certified 1920 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS64, would you buy NGC, PCGS,?
Which Cert. Company would you prefer...NGC, PCGS, ICG, ANACS, SEGS, NTC, etc...???

Best answer:

Answer by stretch
I think PCGS and NGC pretty much dominate the scene. In fact they're the only two I've heard of under the new system of coin certification. I know ANACS was around before the new standards were put in place. The first thing I would do with any coin not certified by the two mentioned above would be to have them re-certified. For the very reason that the rating in years past was very subjective and not consistent.
Good luck

Best answer:

Answer by exactduke
There's many ways to buy your double eagles. Check with your local coin dealers to start with. And I'm sure there are plenty of online retailers. I buy my Morgan silver dollars thru e-bay.

Before you begin buying, get a copy of The Official Red Book - A Guide Book of United States Coins. This will give you an idea of how much to pay for your coins.

Question by Hellion: Value and rarity of 1926 St. Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin?
My wife's grandfather gave us a golden coin as a wedding gift a couple of years back. The wedding was in Poland and the story is that the grandfather bought the coin years ago under communism through the black market as an investment. I know nothing about coins but through a little research on the web, think I may have something of significant value. From what I can tell, it is a 1926 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle. Please excuse my ignorance but I will try my best to describe it. It is a very shiney golden and heavy. It has no blemishes or tarnishes that I can see. If you were to look at it with a very scrupulous eye, I guess it has some minor scratches on the flat surfaces but I don't know if they would be considered scratches or not, but its definitely in great to exceptional condition. I'm just wondering the rarity and value of this coin. I wouldn't consider selling it, and would love to have a family heirloom on my hands. Additionally, how should I store it? I just have it wrapped in a paper towel right now, inside a jewellery box. Any information would be appreciated.

As an additional aside, it was very entertaining to bring it back from Poland. I left Poland immediately after the wedding, as my wife stayed an additional 2 weeks. I kept the coin in my wallet, and really set the metal detector off in the Warsaw airport. I took my wallet out, and sent it through the x-ray machine and saw on the screen, it lit up like a giant glowing ball. They let me through security to the gate. Then about 15 mins. later two guards came walking around looking and eventually approached me. They said in broken english, "We need to see your billfold". They pulled coin out and looked at it puzzled. I wasn't sure of the legality or tax consequences of carrying the coin so I said nervously "It's my lucky coin". The guards looked at it, tossed in the air, one made a comment about how heavy it was, literally tossed it about 2 feet to the other guard, who gave it back to me and sent me on my way.

Answer by doctorjetley
Hi,
The first thing is the condition of the coin. Condition scales go from 1 to 70. Most of the early gold coins are in the 63 range. It depends on how many marks are on the coin. When coins are struck, they are thrown into a bag with others. They come into contact with other coins, and get marks called contact marks. The fewer marks, the better the grade. Also, if there is any rub or wear on the coin, that means it was used or circulated which also effects the grade.

Do not clean or polish the coin. Leave it as is. The way you stored it acceptable, but you may want to look into something more permanent. Value also depends on the mint mark. This tells us where the coin was made. The mint mark is located under the date. If nothing is there, it means the coin was made in Philadelphia. If a "D" is present, it was made in Denver, and if an "s" is present, San Francisco.

The minimum value right now would be approximately 00 based only on the gold value. But based on condition and the mint mark, it could be thousands. If you can, post a picture.

Final thought is, try to get a quick appraisal at a coin show or store. Be clear that it is not for sale. I say this because there are counterfeits around.
