Below are some examples of United States Gold Coins that I typically purchase:

 

Gold Dollar (1849-1889)

A gold dollar coin had been proposed a few times in the 1840s, however was not at first received. Congress was at last stirred without hesitation by the expanded supply of bullion caused by the California gold surge, and in 1849 approved a gold dollar. In its initial years, silver coins were being stored or traded, and the gold dollar found a prepared place in business. Silver again coursed after Congress… READ MORE

Classic Head $2.5 (1834-1839)

The $2.50 Classic Head Gold Quarter Eagle (1834-1839) was the first coin of this denomination to circulate in large numbers. New legislation passed by Congress in 1834 altered the standards for United States gold coins, lowering their weight to a realistic level and permitting them to circulate freely and not be hoarded for their bullion value. The basic design of the preceding Capped Head Liberty quarter eagle was retained, although it was altered by removing the Liberty’s cap and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. These changes readily distinguished… READ MORE 

Liberty Head $2.5 (1840-1907)

The $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle was pressed by the US mint between 1840 and 1907. This particular design is sometimes also called “Coronet,” for the decoration in Liberty’s hair. During the 1830s, officials hoped to create a design that would serve as an enduring symbol of American gold coinage. Indeed, the Liberty Head circulated for almost 70 years, achieving unsurpassed longevity in U.S. history.

Indian $2.5 (1908-1929)

Three Dollar (1854-1889)

The three dollar gold coin, introduced in 1854, was among the foremost unpopular coins in history.

In the United States during the earlier decades of the nineteenth century, a few gold coins circulated freely. the bullion content of every U.S. gold coin exceeded its face value, if exchanged for silver on the world market. This has led to huge melting losses. Congress sought to eliminate the profit margin of the bullion speculators by reducing the weight of gold in the United State coinage by about 6.3%. To reflect the new standard, the $5.00 Classic Head Gold Half Eagle type was released in August 1834… READ MORE

Liberty Head $5 (1839-1908)

 The United State Mint struck the Liberty Head half eagle from 1839 till 1908, rendering it a common form of currency during many notable events in U.S. history. Probably most significant of all was the Civil War, which resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the destruction of much of the South’s infrastructure.

Indian $5 (1908-1929)

The Indian gold half eagle $5 gold coin and the quarter eagle are of the same design type. They represent a revolutionary time in American numismatics.
