Great video:)). Thank you! St. Gauden’s Double Eagles are true gems. Whether graded or ungraded just to have one or two of these gems is priceless. Our fore-fathers had great insight in hiding these gems post-33 after Roosevelt’s gold confiscation took effect. These coins and others could of easily been melted down and turned into gold bars to be stored at Fort Knox. All of us owe a debt of gratitude to our forefathers. Be well everyone.
All good points.... thanks Ben. You're an MS 70 in my book! Might be worthwhile to point out the state of industrial art during this period. In other words, a coin minted in 1927 (or especially 1932 with the tens) is considerably different than those minted 25 yrs earlier. But yeah, those have been "put through the ringer". :)
I wish gold price would drop back down to $1150 range so I can finally add a double eagle to the collection. When it does it’ll be the first thing I buy Great video Ben!
Thanks for a very interesting video! I don't collect gold coins, because it would be boring to only add one or two coins to my collection each year, but it's still fun to see and talk about them.
Like so many others, the Saint-Gaudens was a dream coin of mine. I have two of the more common dates, 1924 & 1927. They are immaculate though -- both MS65 -- PCGS OGH holders. I have considered having them regraded, but have always decided against it. The fact that they are in the old holders also impacted that decision. If you look at PCGS Photograde you will see that the MS62 (in video) is accurately graded. They have marks -- they are gold -- gold is soft -- still uncirculated. All nice coins for sure!
@@hunterfalck235 Bullion? No, these are not bullion. This is real money from the early 1900's. These are actual numismatic 90% gold coins with a face value of $20. My how times have changed. Cheers!
I will get a 1907 St Gaudens one day. It's a dream coin of mine. Question for you - is there any difference in the relief height from 1907-1933? Excluding the high relief 1907's of course. Also it seems like the rim is larger with the 1907 date. Am I correct in that observation? Lastly would you say that later date double eagles, such as ones in the 1920's, exhibit more luster than the 1907 date? Thanks for your time and the great video.
The thing I find with graded gold coins is that they seem to be graded more appropriately versus say business strike coins. I think they take a little bit more time with the gold and the people that grade them just might be a different group that grades the other bulk kind of stuff..
I continue to be amazed with how much wear they allow and still call these Mint State. That 62 just could not get an MS grade from me, etc. The 3s and 4 likewise just have too many, but I know that is the standard.
@@don951 My issue is that there is a different standard not only from silver coins but from other gold coins (ie GB sovereigns, etc.). In point of fact, I was for over 15 years the main cataloguer for Krause on 19th and 20th C. Great Britain. My point is that regardless there are too many marks IMO for the mint state grade; you can't shake a mint bag forever and still call the included coins "uncirculated".
I crack out 95 percent of NGC and PCGS gold coins labeled uncirculated because there is actual visible wear on them. Some as highly rated as 64 are actually xf to au. Gone are the days you can rely on their grading.
Hi Ben, unfortunately comparing different years and different mints with one another is like comparing apples to oranges. For instance even a poorly struck coin can be considered an MS64 if that condition was above par for the particular mint in that year.
@@serrotserrot911serrot4 I do have one. Downfall is it happens to be one of the replication coins. So at least it’s worth $20 dollars. Who knows I might find something good one day.
Coin grading can be very SUBJECTIVE, a BIG BEARING in my opinion has to do with the time of day the coin is graded, the earlier it is graded the more accurate the grade, as the day goes on one's eyes naturally can get tired, and at times can bring about an inaccurate grade, I bought a 1911-D Saint Guarden's Double Eagle graded by one of the two Top Grading Services in MS-63, I knew the designated grade was way off, I then cracked it out and sent it to the other Top Grading Service and the same coin came back MS-65, I still wasn't that pleased so I sent it to CAC and it came back with a Green CAC sticker which means the COIN WAS STRONG FOR THE ASSIGNED GRADE, as well as a sticker stating that the Mint Mark was D/D, indicating a DOUBLE MINT MARK, so COIN GRADING AT TIMES CAN BE VERY SUBJECTIVE.
Great Video of the most glorious and Majestic of all American coins !!!...

Bucket list coins for me! Someday I definitely hope to add one to my collection👍🏻
Great look at $20 Saint Gaudens! Very helpful to have different grades to compare.

Thanks Ben, very good to see the comparative graded coins.
Great teaching. I learned a good bit from your great video. The Pre33 coins are beautiful but nice to learn some good things to look for
Wow sweet coins there,maybe one day I'll get one I hope thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing the great coins.
Forget the negatives. I love all the coins especially the orange one
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO CONGRATS 😃👍❤
I wish gold price would drop back down to $1150 range so I can finally add a double eagle to the collection. When it does it’ll be the first thing I buy
Great video Ben!
How double eagle if u buy
Thanks for a very interesting video! I don't collect gold coins, because it would be boring to only add one or two coins to my collection each year, but it's still fun to see and talk about them.
Embrace that boredom my friend- just make a US gold type set and buy one or two coins a year. You’ll be happy you did!

Why do you grade bullion

Beautiful Gold! I need my sunglasses. 😎 That 63 looks like a 64+ or maybe even a 65. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Love these st gaudens
Definitely a bucket list coin…

First saint gaudens is 1924 m64. One off my bucket list.

these are business strike coins
Alexander I meant to the common quarter nickel dime half dollar not gold

Circulation wear and uncirulated bag wear are two different things. The pros are gonna know.

@@ericdawson845 Right. Technically still uncirculated but ugly. I think that is what MS60 is reserved for. :)

At what grade is there a big difference in value?
Hello, is their a small $20 dollar gold coin, and I did the magnet test and it didn't stick to it. Its so small I don't let anyone else hold it.
I have a 1909 since, twenty dollar double eagle gold coin and I intend to sell it. Thank You
That's what I saw too. The last 63 looked better than the 64,
Sir I have 20 dollar not in gold and year is written in roman MCMvii ii.that was real coin or not.please response
Do you guys find motto or no motto to be more visually appealing? Just curious.
I’d crack and re-sub that 1907 NGC ‘63’ TODAY.
Good eye!
I have a 20 dollar double eagle 1910 what’s the value
I have a ms64 where can I sell it
i appreciate a "scuffed" coin, it lets me know what life was like...!?
Hi Ben, unfortunately comparing different years and different mints with one another is like comparing apples to oranges. For instance even a poorly struck coin can be considered an MS64 if that condition was above par for the particular mint in that year.
What is the highest graded one known to exist? Any 70 grades out there?
Theres a few 69s i believe not sure about 70s
So I have a 1933 twenty dollar gold coin. In mint condition. Who would I go to have it checked out. Just checking.
Youre full of shiiii.....
@@serrotserrot911serrot4
I do have one. Downfall is it happens to be one of the replication coins. So at least it’s worth $20 dollars. Who knows I might find something good one day.
The NGC 1907 MS63 is the only coin I would consider owning. The rest are not MS in my not so humble opinion.
please say your joking? the pcgs 1907 is 1000% original the ngc 1907 is not ...
The 1907 NGC MS63 is highly under-graded in my opinion. It's easily a 64 and in all honesty looks like a 65 to me.
Yup. I got a 65 that looks no better than that one.
You got screwed on the 1907! Crack it out and submit it again! Way better than 63! Grader was smoking wacky tobacky!

Is the edge reeded
No. St. Gaudens coins are not reeded.
Wow that 63 seems like robbery to me

انا من سلطنه عمان. عندي20 دولار النسر المزدوج الذهبي 1924 ابيعها 17 مليون دولار
