The 1841 $2.50 Liberty Head is the most desirable of all Liberty Head quarter eagles due to its rarity. There is no official record of this date having been struck, and very few specimens are known to exist.

A number of other unanswered questions surrounding the 1841 Liberty Head quarter eagle make it one of the most interesting and mysterious of all U.S. coins.

It is believed that 180,000 of the 1927-D Saint Gaudens $20 gold pieces were minted, but fewer than 15 are known to exist today.

The highly graded versions of this coin are valued at nearly $2 million. Only 6 or 7 coins have been in major sales over the last 20 years, and they are considered one of the rarest coins in U.S. history.

Designed by Robert Scot, the "Heraldic Eagle", Capped Bust to Right, was issued from 1797 through 1804, with only 37,449 of these coins issued in 1799, the year of George Washington's death.

At the time, they were the largest denomination coin issued by the United States.

$20 Liberty Double Eagle gold coins are one of the world's most recognized gold pieces. The mintage of the proof 1906 $20 was only 94 with a survival rate estimated at about half of that. This date is also tough in mint state making it just that more desirable in proof format.

Stella pattern coins were first suggested by John A. Kasson, a former chairman of the United States House Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures, to explore the possibility of becoming a part of the Latin Monetary Union (LMU).

The Saint-Gaudens double eagle, or $20 gold piece, stands above the rest as the single most magnificent coin of this-or any-era in U.S. history.

The 1897 is one of the rarest proofs from the 1890s, the original mintage of just 86 pieces representing a significant reduction from the total of 128 coins that the Mint achieved for the 1896. The number of coins extant for the 1897 is probably fewer than 30 pieces.

The 1902 Liberty Head double eagle is a sought-after and low-mintage date coin. US double eagles have historically been the most popular of all US gold numismatics.

Coin was made by a pair of Hungarian patriots named S.C. Wass and A.P. Molitor, who established a smelting and assaying operation in San Francisco during the days of the California gold rush.

Second lowest mintage of all $20 liberty gold with a mintage of 751. If one were to exclude the proof striking there was a paltry strike of 674 coins for the entire country! US double eagles have historically been the most popular of all US gold numismatics.

One of the higher-profile business strikes from the later Liberty Double Eagle series, the 1906-P has a mintage of just 69,596 pieces.

The $3 Indian Princess gold coin is one of the more unusual coins in U.S. history. The $3 Indian Princess was minted from 1854-1889, with a very low production and is the only three dollar gold coin in American coinage.

In 1908, Congress mandated that the motto "In God We Trust," once again take its place on the Double Eagle after overturning an earlier decision by President Theodore Roosevelt to remove the motto. The Motto portion of the Saint-Gaudens series continued through 1933 with a single interruption in yearly production from 1917-1919.

The Liberty Head exhibits a smooth, satiny sheen; the strike is razor sharp throughout, and the eye appeal is the strongest ever in an 1850 Gold Dollar.
