$20, Double Eagle Gold Coins - St Gaudens,
Liberty Head
Some of the most popular coins for the avid collector and the investor as well are the Gold Double Eagle coins with a face value of $20 and 1 ounce of pure gold. These coins have been sought after because of the rising price of gold and their numismatic value which can far exceed the value of gold contained in them.
The most popular gold coin of all time is the $20 St Gaudens Double Eagle which was minted from 1907 to 1933. While they are still widely available, their numbers are dwindling as collectors continue to grab bargains wherever they can find them.
The next Double Eagle in popularity is the Liberty Head gold coin minted from 1849 to 1907. This coin is also known as the Coronet head double eagle.
And just at the beginning of 2009, the US Mint released the highly anticipated 2009 Ultra High Relief Gold coin which is exactly as the original designer, Augustus St Gaudens had created it. Now, more than 100 years after its original inception, the most beautiful of all the gold double eagles is available for all collectors at a slight premium over the value of the gold it contains.
