@WillieBoyd2....Great buy.... I never acquired through Coin World, but did get a lot of gold at what is now ridiculous bargain prices.... Cheers, RickO
The Type II Liberty Double Eagle is a sleeper in the series. Mint State ones are scarce because there have never been any big shipwreck hoards discovered. They were almost all saved on dry land. Very high grade ones almost don't exist.
And I have to post it. This is one of my prettiest coins. This one even impresses the non collectors.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

beautiful coins!...what are their grades?
The 1873 is a PCGS MS-63, and the 1907 High Relief, plain edge is an NGC MS-65. The Type II double eagle (e.g. 1873} is very scarce in MS-64 and almost unobtainable in MS-65 or higher.

What a great thread..... big gold coins... some real beauties too....The luster on the '57's and the '92 is amazing... Cheers, RickO
The double eagles in this thread are very impressive.
The 1892-S has the look of a Saddle Ridge Hoard coin.
1889 $20. This example is remarkably free of bag marks. Mintage only 44,000…
That's not a coin but an artistic metal of the highest degree
The first year from New Orleans
Bigal--That is a gorgeous 1850-O, looks at least AU55

Thanks BloodMan. It took several years to find the right coin and it's great "in hand" with original surfaces.

Two recently added Double Eagles. The HR was a celebrated newp here December 2015. She just turned 17 months...it's like having a kid, lol.
This is my first, bought 29 more after this, including several liberty double eagle. The liberty double eagle is one of my most favorite coins.
