The type 2 double eagle in my gold typeset is from the Central America. It is one of the cheapest dates available for the type.

MrKelso,
I think I just had an orgasm!

I don't collect them as I think they are gimmicky and prices are inflated given other rare coin prices. BUT they like all gold are beautiful!
