Double Eagle Gold Coin

The United States twenty dollar Double Eagle gold coin is the largest denomination coin America produced prior to 1986, when the 50 dollar American Gold Eagle was released. Unlike the American Gold Eagle, which is a one troy ounce of gold generally minted for investors and coin collectors, the 20 dollar Double Eagle gold coin was minted for the purposes of being circulated and used as legal tender in the purchasing of goods and services. The Double Eagle gold coin has a storied past that paralleled expansion within the continental United States. First minted in 1849 on the heels of the rich gold discovery at Sutter’s Mill in Northern California in 1848, the Double Eagle gold coin became an iconic status symbol for westward bound adventurers looking to stake their claim to untold riches.

The initial design of the Double Eagle gold coin coincided with the coinage of that era, employing the young matron head representing liberty on the obverse, or front, of the coin and the standard American eagle in flight with the shield on the reverse, or back, of the coin. Although minor adjustments were made and rare varieties minted, this design of the Double Eagle gold coin lasted until early into the twentieth century. The second and last design of the American Double Eagle gold coin was that of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who arguably created the most beautiful coin America has ever produced, the Saint-Gaudens twenty dollar Double Eagle gold coin. Minted between 1907 and 1933, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin stands as a pinnacle of design and beauty mixed with functionality.

With a forward facing walking liberty on the obverse and and eagle in flight over a sun with rays on the reverse, this Double Eagle gold coin has many specimens that are quite desirable in the numismatic world, including one of the most costliest coins in the coin collecting hobby: the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin, worth well into the millions due to it’s scarcity and the history of controversy surrounding the outlawed coin.

However, most of these coins still fall into the category of coins that trade for their gold content as many of these Double Eagle gold coins still persist on the open markets.

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.

Really cool cats over at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. You would’ve thought that I was “Madonna” the way those guys treated me. I was so mesmerized by all of the antiques, they have in there, I believe I was there for two hours, just looking, unbelieveable! When I went in I was so hot, they offered me a cold bottle of water, how cool is that? It felt like home to me. I wanted to get a price for some old jewelry that was passed down by grandma, I was well satisfied. When I left the shop, I was singing “Money, Money, Money.

This dealer was beyond excellent in all respects! No low-ball games, no fooling around. These people are honest, and the transaction was handled smoothly with complete transparency. I will definitely recommend Nevada Coin & Jewelry to everybody I know!

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!
