Nice coins. Way above my pay grade.

 

A truely drool worthy post! Love all the above coins
Here is my humble offering
well I ain't got a Double Gold Eagle of any kind yet.. but I do have my Gold Eagle and by the price lists it is probably my highest value coin

 

Father Knows Best!! Beautiful coin.

 

Beautiful coin! Now you just need a 1927-D to go with it. Cal

 

I own one saint, and I like it. But I like this one more - and it isn't even gold!

 

I never thought about it before, but I think that's the best depiction of Liberty on a US coin.

 

Well being an MVC thread, no question it is my bucket list coin. Easily the costliest coin in my stable.

 

That is exactly correct!

 

I guess it would be this one. I've admired the Gobrecht "no stars" obverse design for a long time, also the eagle on the reverse. I wanted a coin with plenty of remaining detail on the raptor so compromised on the surface condition ( old cleaning, not too obtrusive). It helped that my budget was more generous due to a bonus at work.

 

That is my favorite coin. Just wow.

 

Ok, it took me a while to get my jaw back in place, thankfully I didn't swallow my teeth. Both are truly amazing coins, but, if you don't mind, what is the grade on the 1796? It looks absolutely pristine to me!

 

It is currently in an NGC MS-62 holder. It was graded MS-61 at one time. Since there are not that many of these coins around, it’s sometimes possible to trace them through previous auction appearances.

 

Wow. I didn't realize it was graded that high!

 

I have some US coins that were more expensive than this one but there are no photos of them available from either NGC or PCGS. The US coins are a 1797 small eagle VF 25 half-dime and a 1796 small eagle VF 20 dime.

I don't collect world gold but at the time this coin spoke to me and I just had to have it.
