What We Carry

Classic U.S. gold denominations

From the quarter eagle to the double eagle, each denomination has its own collecting following.

$2.50 Liberty & Indian

Quarter eagles struck from the mid-1800s through 1929 — smaller coins with an accessible entry price for type collectors.

$5 Liberty & Indian

Half eagles spanning much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, popular for both type sets and date collecting.

$10 Liberty & Indian

Eagles with substantial gold weight and strong demand in higher, problem-free grades.

$20 Liberty & Saint-Gaudens

Double eagles — the largest circulating U.S. gold coin and, in the Saint-Gaudens design, widely regarded as America's finest coin design.

World Gold

British sovereigns, Mexican pesos, Swiss and French gold, and other internationally recognized gold issues.

Understanding Value

Numismatic premium vs. melt value

Every gold coin has a floor value based on its gold content, but many are worth meaningfully more because of rarity, condition, or historical demand.

Melt value is what a coin's gold content is worth at the spot price of gold, regardless of date or condition.
Numismatic premium is what collectors pay above melt for scarcity, condition, originality, or a well-known design.
Common-date, circulated Liberty gold often trades close to melt plus a modest premium — a reasonable way to combine bullion exposure with a classic coin.
Better dates, low mintages, and coins in original, high-grade condition can carry premiums many times melt value.

When you're weighing a gold coin purchase, ask us directly whether you're paying mostly for metal or mostly for numismatic value — we'll always tell you which is which. For coins already certified, see our certified coins page.
