This Pinnacle article has not yet been posted. Does anyone want to make some predictions as to what might be on the list and why? Here are 5 eagles and double eagles that should make the list:

1799 Eagle: Not rare, but popular as an affordable (relatively) 18th century gold coin
1841-O Eagle: The most scarce New Orleans eagles and one of the most difficult Coronet eagles from any mint
1850 Double Eagle: First year of issue of the popular $20 Lib series.
1861-O Double Eagle: Historic and scarce, about 1/3 minted each by the US, State of Louisiana, and Confederacy
1870-CC Double Eagle: The granddaddy of this difficult, long, and popular series and the first $20 issue from the popular Carson City mint.

    $50 Mexican peso series

    Remember you said most popular not most sought after

    Man you beat me to it. Yes maybe "most sought after" by advanced gold collectors but far from "most popular".image

    1861-S $20 with the Pacquet reverse.

    1908 D Saint-Gaudens Indian head Eagle, rarest of the no motto series but still affordable in lower mint state.
    I agree with the 1861 O and 1861 S Paquet double eagles, these are two of my fantasy coins.

    No one else is biting...

    1838/1839 (Head of 1838) Eagle: Transitional years with slanted head (or off-center date, depending on perspective).
    1875 Eagle: Classic rarity, only seen in major auctions.
    1907 Eagle: Popular first year of issue of a favorite design.
    1854-S Double Eagle: First $20 Lib from the San Francisco Mint, scarce in higher (non-seawater) grades.
    1907 HR Double Eagle: One of the most desired US gold coins.

    OK then how about the following double eagles: 1879-O, 1902 in mint state, 1908-S, 1920-S and the 1909/8 double eagle as the only Saint-Gaudens overdate.
    don't forget the1879-CC eagle for its rarity, the 1891-CC eagle for its availability and finally the 1893-CC eagle as an underrated classic
