TYPE LIST OF U.S. CIRCULATED GOLD COINS

Please note that these prices are for coins of the listed type and dates are of our selection.  Sometimes prices will change as the price of gold goes up and down or the market changes.  Some coins may be out of stock when sales occur.  Prices for numismatic gold coins related to bullion  were set at the gold spot of about $530-540.00 but prices are changing fast in all directions.  Early in January 2008 gold was at about $900.00 and higher. Write or e-mail for up-to-date prices!  Rare gold coin prices generally have been going up!  Gold coin prices for numismatic gold sometimes goes up even when spot prices go down due to collector supply and demand. The market right now is highly volatile, but many of these prices are reasonable at these gold prices and forming a type collection of 19th or 20th Century gold coins makes for a dramatic display of an American historic icon.  Note our prices will be competitive for equal quality.

TYPE LIST OF U.S. UNCIRCULATED GOLD COINS

 2007

CALIFORNIA GOLD

RARE $1.00 CALIFORNIA ROUND 1870, Period II, OBV. LIBERTY HEAD, "LANTERN-JAWED (GOOFY) HEAD", 13 tiny stars, REV. "1 DOLLAR, 1870, CALIFORNIA GOLD" WITHIN WREATH, Period before the C and after D in Gold, Large 1 in Open part, period after date. Breen/Gillio 1205, Lee 4A, Burnie 8, and listed in Breen/Gillio as Rarity-5 (46-60 known). ( In its 4/94 publication PCGS lists only a total of 16, with only 10 AU or higher.)  NGC in its 1/05 Census Report only list 2 coins.  Note: according to California small gold specialist Jay Roe all "Goofy Heads" are gold plated over silver cores. This one is proof-like as are many high grade specimens of this type. This one is PCGS AU-58 and thus higher grade than most that have been on the market over the last few decades.   Other R-5 California gold have brought up to $8,500. This type sold for $6,000 in auction in 1980.  Few specialist have this coin in stock, and all round $1.00 gold is scarce and difficult to obtain.   POR

U.S. $5 GOLD - Half Eagle

Capped Bust Type: 

Please note that all Early Bust and Classic American Gold is getting harder to buy and more and more and more in demand over the last year, please consider some of these wonderful examples that are getting harder and harder to find.

FIVE DOLLARS GOLD, CAPPED BUST TYPE, 1804 AU-55 or better, Breen 6443 or in Breen, "Early Half Eagles" #B. 2-E: Listed as R-4, Type II, B. 2-E, Small Date (Small 8), normal, Cracked Obv.

No wear shows on reverse eagle wings. This is a beautiful early American scarce coin, see picture above and background for this page. High rarity with scarce die state, a nice combination for both the type and the die variety collector.  POR.

FIVE DOLLARS GOLD, CAPPED BUST TYPE, 1806, 7x6 stars, Round 6, Breen 6448, (Possibly Breen 5-E sub-variety), PCGS XF-45.  High end XF-AU type.

Fair price for hard to get type, $7,900.00.

Classic Head Type

FIVE DOLLARS, CLASSIC HEAD TYPE, No Motto, 1834, First Head, Large Plain 4, Date closely spaced and high, 8 and 4 lower, Rev. A  joins arrow.  Breen 6501, Breen II-4 Type in "Early U.S. Half-Eagles", net XF-40 ANACS,  probably XF-45+ details, very lightly cleaned.  Just a great coin for this type.   $1,000.00.

Liberty or Coronet Head

FIVE DOLLARS, LIBERTY, OR CORONET HEAD, MOTTO ADDED, 1881-P, ANACS Ex. Fine 40, and probably a bit better since the wings show almost no wear even on high points.  At first glance, coin looks close to Unc. but somewhat weak struck on lower hair of obverse.  Breen 6713, but variety with slanting first "1" in date.  For the variety specialist.  Reverse letters re-cut or repunched  (DOUBLE DIE?).  $235.00.

FIVE DOLLARS, LIBERTY, OR CORONET HEAD, MOTTO ADDED, 1881-P, AU+, almost no wear on high points.   $235.00

FIVE DOLLARS, LIBERTY, OR CORONET HEAD, MOTTO ADDED, 1902-P, ANACS MS-62 with strong claims to a bit better. This is a somewhat scarcer coin with far fewer minted (172,562) than most S or P mints during this period, some of which go up to above 3 million. The grading services population figures mint state specimens show fewer in Mint State than most other dates of this period. Note MS-63 examples sell for about $1,000. This coin only $425.00.

FIVE DOLLARS, LIBERTY, MOTTO ADDED, OVERDATE, 1906-P, EXTREMELY RARE, BREEN 6792 VARIETY, ANACS AU-58, as close to BU as you can get, shows almost no wear even on high points. Breen 6792, is variety with HEAVY REPUNCHED DATE, CLOSED 6, PART OF ANOTHER DIGIT WITHIN LOOP, ITS CURVATURE NOT MATCHING THAT OF 6. BREEN REPORTS "NOT OVER 6 SEEN." One specimen is noted by Breen as being sold at auction by Pine Tree Auctions in November 1975, there being a few others not specified. This may be the seventh specimen confirmed, and unknown previously to Breen or the market, discovered by this firm.  When this coin was submitted this coin was the only Breen 6792 variety listed by any of the major certification services. There are probably some more now recognized. For the gold variety specialist. $1,250.00.

FIVE DOLLARS, LIBERTY, MOTTO ADDED, 1907-P, ANACS MS-60, Breen 6798, variety with partly repunched date. Repunching seen at base of 1 and top of 7. ANACS a while ago listed only 4 coins of this Breen variety.  Another for the variety specialist. Reverse letters re-cut, doubling?  $395.00

U.S. $2.50 GOLD

Liberty Head

TWO DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS, LIBERTY, 1878-S,  VF/XF, only  $200.00.

TWO DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS, LIBERTY, 1904-P, ANACS MS-62, probably a bit better, clearly Premium Quality++. The MS-63 trends/retails for about $900.00. This coin not far from MS-63, only $600.00.

TWO DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS, LIBERTY, 1907-P, RARE VARIETY, Breen 6329, REPUNCHED DATE, CITED BY BREEN AS "RARE," Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, ANACS MS-63, $1,500.00.

TWO DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS, INDIAN, 1928-P, Brilliant Uncirculated (MS-60+).  Lt. small marks on rev. $260.00

COMMEMORATIVE GOLD

$1.00 LOUISIANA PURCHASE/ McKinley, 1903.  This is an Almost Uncirculated coin which has, at some point, been lightly cleaned.  It "nets," due to cleaning, at ANACS Ex. Fine-40.  Only 17,500 minted,  In my opinion, this is a better coin, which is bargain at  $750.00.

$2.50 U.S. SESQUICENTENNIAL, 1926, Graded MS-60 by ANACS. This Uncirculated coin is hard to come by with a limited mintage of 46,019. Prices have risen recently as more collectors realize the rarity of choice Commemorative Gold. Only $600.00.
