1849 $20 Liberty Tribute Proof

Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 387)      

U.S. gold coin denominations had not exceeded $10 due to modest demand and limited gold supplies. Then, on January 24, 1848, the California Gold Rush began and over a half-million “Forty-Niners” made gold supplies plentiful. In February 1849, Congress authorized the striking of $20 gold coins and the “Double Eagle” was born. The first two $20 Liberty Gold pieces were struck—the ONLY ones to ever bear the date 1849. Now, over one hundred and fifty years later, only one single 1849 $20 Gold Piece survives. Housed in the Smithsonian Institution, it is a gleaming reminder of America’s Gold Rush. Collector’s can only dream about owning the priceless treasure in the Smithsonian, but now you can acquire our privately minted, non-monetary 1849 $20 Liberty Proof, clad in 31 mg of 24 KT Pure Gold, at a much more affordable price!...more

1861 Confederate Penny Tribute Proof

Lot # 6 (Sale Order: 6 of 387)      

In 1861, an official of the CSA Army contacted a Philadelphia jeweler to engrave a Confederate cent. The job went to Robert Lovett, Jr., a die-cutter with extensive experience. Using the head of Minerva on the obverse, and a wreath of Southern agricultural products on the reverse, Lovett struck 12 coins in copper-nickel. Fearing arrest by the Union for aiding the Confederacy, he hid the twelve coins in his basement until long after the war was over. After the war, his dies were used to restrike the design in several different metals, including silver, gold and copper...more

1861-O Liberty Tribute Proof

Lot # 7 (Sale Order: 7 of 387)

The disruption caused by the conflict restricted that year’s mintage of $20 Gold Pieces from the southern New Orleans Mint to under 18,000 strikings. As a result high-grade specimens exceed $20,000 in price—if one can even be found! This privately minted, non-monetary Proof, clad in 31 mg of .999 Pure Gold with the coveted ‘O’ mint mark and the magic date of 1861, can now be an historic addition to your collection....more

1927-D St. Gaudens Clad Tribute Proof

Lot # 15 (Sale Order: 15 of 387)      

While many numismatic rarities are created by very small mintages, it seems that the 1927 ‘D’ Saint Gaudens $20 Double Eagle owes it’s rarity to the thorough job the US Government did melting them in the 1930's!

1933 Double Eagle Tribute Proof

Lot # 16 (Sale Order: 16 of 387)      

In 1933, the Gold Confiscation Act called for that entire year’s $20 gold coin mintage to be melted down.

This fabled coin reappeared in 1996 when a British dealer attempted to sell it. U.S. Government agents seized it, and in a legal settlement, it was placed on the auction block. It was sold in July 2002 in New York City for a record $7.6 million dollars—making it the highest price for any legal tender gold coin ever sold. You can now capture the mystery in this beautiful privately minted non-monetary adaptation of the 1933 Double Eagle design as a 14 mg Pure 24 KT Gold Tribute Proof at an affordable price....more
