Am I missing something here?
Just happen to browse thru Heritage Price Guide. ( Ripley's ) Believe it or not, they have prices listed for the 1849 Liberty Double Eagle, ranging from P1 to MS. How can this be? If I understand correctly, there was only ONE 1849 Double Eagle minted, and it's currently sitting in The Smithsonian, right?

    Two struck. One in the Smithsonian, the other one dropped out of sight after it was last auctioned over a century ago. (Around 1890?)

    I'm curious what the listed price range is for a coin that appearently hasn't changed hands in over 100 years, assuming there is a second one. I'm even more curious how these prices were derived.

    I would say it was close to 6 Million. Essentially what another unique to collectors $20 coin.
