The eagle in flight is a beautiful design on the reverse of the Double Eagle. I remember when you got your first American Gold Eagle, I believe you traded in some 1/4 oz's and a 1/2 oz if I recall. Nice side by side comparison!!!
Sal, I LOVE THIS VIDEO. Thanks for the comparison. Unbelievable that the Double Eagle is priced at "firm $350" at that time you got it! Both are my dream coins. I prefer the Double Eagle reverse Eagle in flight to the West over the AGE reverse of a family of eagles. Double Eagle is second on my list to purchase for the larger gold coins, primarily for the history behind the gold coin. First on my list is, of course, the first year issue of the American Gold Buffalo, and 3rd in my least is the first year issue of the American Gold Eagle. Thank you, Sal! This video is educational, as well as it helps maintain my motivation to stay the course in my gold stacking goals. Take care, my friend.
I have two of the St. Gaudens gold pieces from 1924. The reverse of the $20 gold piece has been more pleasing to me. However, it would be nice to see the modern gold eagle have a larger diameter.
The St Gaudens double eagle was minted with Roman numerals in 1907 , too. They changed it later to Arabic numerals. Great job Sal. For me I like the rim of the St Gaudens double eagle more than the todays gold eagle, because of it's stars and lettering on it.
This video was a treasure! Thank you for sharing. 🤔I would like to see a video about the Princess Dollar and the earlier US dollars i.e. Flowing bust or bust and anything comparing weight and purity of silver vs. Gold. You videos are straight to the point, I value your opinions. Keep up the great work.
This just popped up on my timeline. I just traded in some small gold for a 1904 Liberty Head double eagle. It was destined to be melted down and I just couldn't see that happening to such a beautiful coin.
Great comparative video Sal, I think I like the classic $20 double Eagle better. It may also be because it was once in circulation but I also think it is because it is a classic coin. I also really like the symbolism for Westward expansion. Thanks for sharing!
if you haven't done a vid of doing a ping test on the new gold eagle, it would be cool for some of the new folks to experience it. keep up the great vids.
Considering your 1910 double eagle has a $350 price tag, I assume you bought it many years ago? I wish I can buy a double eagle for that cheap. The St. Gaudens $20 didn't circulate often. Most were stored in European bank vaults for decades. That's why so many St. Gaudens $20 exist in Mint State condition. The Liberty Head $20 circulated more often than the St. Gaudens $20.
I'm late to the party but was wondering what you would do. I have an opportunity to trade my 2019 S ASe for the Saint Gaudens gold coin. Is the Gaudens better than the eagle? Or would you trade a gold eagle for it if it was offered?
I just weighed my pre33 gold all were exact except my saint-gaudens double eagle it was 33.41 instead of 33.43; is that to be worried about or is that normal from wear?
Speak with you please about a 1933 gold $20 double eagle I know it's extremely valuable and I'd rather get rid of it stop me from or in at somebody's going to steal it from the where I got it I was watching TH-cam. I was looking for my Quincy the day I was watching TH-cam tonight and I I realized I have that please answer me
Most people start out buying gold with the double eagle. I started out with a sovereign and will try to make my way up to a $3 princess. Why that and not a double eagle? Because at the time of the $3 gold coin , a stamp costed ¢3 and for $3, you could buy a whole sheet of stamps. Some people call it an “unnecessary denomination” kind of like the two cent, or even the twenty cent, but I’m glad we had those denominations in circulation to show case the day of money worth any face value, including the double eagle. The best part though is that a lot of them used real metals like silver for the twenty cent, gold for the $3, and gold for the double eagle. 😀
My personal preference, I really like the more scuffed worn look of the double eagle than the pristine perfect look of the gold eagle. Old just looks better than modern to me even though the obverse is practically the same.
The Lady Liberty on the St Gaudens is just prettier! The Gold Eagle has a lady that might not turn heads... She looks like the lady on the Kitco TH-cam channel, which is a little weird. He neck is a little too long, her lips a big, her cheek bones are high. And her hair is not as fluffy... IMHO
Sal, Hi. New Mexico became the 47th State on Jan. 6, 1912. Arizona became the 48th State on Feb. 14, 1912. I'd sure like to find a 47- star flag! *:-)*

Wow! Awesome pickups sir!

Normal from wear most likely
@@SalivateMetal thank you!
I don't have the gold version but I have the silver version and not sure what it's worth.
If the silver version looks like these coins, then it's generic silver and worth the spot price. Thanks for watching.

The gold eagle IS intended for circulation. The gold buffalo is the one intended for investment.

flying west the sun would be on the other side (south) so looking at the face the eagle would be flying to the right.

Have you seen some of their "new" designs? They are pretty bad.

$350.00! Can we haggle on the price? :) Here I'll start. I'll offer you $275... :)
Nowadays $275 is only enough to buy an Indian Head quarter eagle or Type 1 gold dollar.
