("Earlier in April, we also had a winning bid of $54,880 for a 1927-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle graded PCGS MS-63," - see paragraph #5 below)
(Irvine, CA) - One of only two known 1993-W one-ounce gold American Eagles graded a perfect PCGS Proof-70 deep cameo sold for a record $36,960 in the Teletrade® Premier Sale on April 23, 2006.
"With only two 1993-W Eagles graded Proof-70, this is the rarest one-ounce gold Eagle in the PCGS Population Report. We had strong bids from 15 different people who wanted this coin, and the auction set a record price for any one-ounce American Eagle," said Ian Russell, President of Teletrade® (www.Teletrade.com).
The pre-sale estimate was $15,000 or more. The $36,960 winning bid paid by the anonymous collector includes a 12 percent buyer's fee.
This is the third record price set in recent Teletrade® auctions for certified, modern coins: $16,240 for a 1971-S Eisenhower Dollar PF-70 DCAM; $10,300 for a 1984-P Olympic gold $10 PF-70 DCAM; and $7,840 for 2001-W one-ounce gold Eagle PF-70 DCAM.
"Earlier in April, we also had a winning bid of $54,880 for a 1927-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle graded PCGS MS-63," said Russell. "Obviously, Teletrade® attracts buyers and sellers of classic collector coins as well as modern, certified rarities."

the eldest of this bunch,
and classic I am told.
The '93 Gold Eagle has 14 years,
not exactly modern,
but not old enough for beers.
The '71-s Ike has counted 36 years,
since it was first sold,
and has seen lotsa cheers.
The '84 Olympic is seeing year twenty-three.
The '01 Eagle is the youngest of these.
I'm only 6 years old,
call me modern if you please.
Happy New Year to the young,
and Happy New Year to the bold.
May you always feel classic,
but never feel old.
