Old Pueblo Coin
I'm fortunate to have common date $20 lib and saint in 63 and 64, respectively. They're both beautiful and I really enjoy them. The lib is my favorite. Classic look and feel.
The $20 Liberty is one of my favorite coin designs. I think the shield modification on the Type 2 was an improvement from the Type 1. The one thing I do like about the Type 3 is that there is more detail on Liberty's head despite the somewhat odd repositioning. I wish the mint would do a modern release of this coin in proof.
For a 1851 piece the quality of detail is really amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Lots of great information here! Thanks Ben
I expect to see some of these in your collection!
Hi, Ben. I like the Type3 reverse with dollar spelled out. My 1904 T3 was less expensive than the T1 & T2 coins, and I like that. I have only that one $20 gold piece in my Type Set. I like your CC T2 coin. I think a Type Set with key coins would be a killer. I'm talking about all Types, including copper, silver, and gold issues. 1877 IHC, 09S VDB Lincoln, 1916D Merc, 1916 SLQ, 1889CC Morgan, 1928P Peace, etc. Have you ever seen such a Type Set? A CC Type Set would be badass. *TYU*
Very interesting overview. Thank You!
Those are so pretty to look at, but I'm probably part dragon. Double Eagles were more intended for use as bank reserves instead of circulation so much of what survives today sat uncirculated in European bank vaults for decades until dealers started seeking them out for collectors. Uncirculated common date Type 3s can be available for the same premium as American Gold Eagles in some booths at shows or local shops that depend on moving inventory quickly.
Type 3 is I think is mich nicer, because liberty's head is correct positioned on the size of the coin. Thanks for showing. From the UK.
Thanks for watching!
I have my 1872 Type II in XF condition - Paid $485.00 for it in the 1990's I also have a BU 1899 Type 3 that I paid $699.00 for in the same time period.

I have A 1854 large date really hard to get. I was so lucky to get that one. Its one of my all three types.
I remember when you used to get normal double eagles for $1300 (way back in 2018). Also if you look at the details of Liberty's hair they do differ on the various types.
Also the New Orleans mint stopped production in 1861 (year Civil War started) but it actually minted double eagles again in 1879.
Those are certainly beautiful and collecting those types isn't really too tough since examples of most can be had for not tons over the gold price. That said gold isn't cheap so I don't see myself having a large collection of them. They are fun to see, though. Thanks!
My mother gave me one years ago to put up. Never thought much about it,my jaw dropped when I saw how much they go for.
Back in the 1850s, where did the mint get gold from? Was it bought from miners with silver dollars or paper money?
Gold was mined in California or near Charlotte/Dahlonega.
