Why You Should Act Now -
Own the Rarest of the Liberty Double Eagles
Type
II Liberties are so rare only one collector in 1,000 can hope to own even
one of these gold coins. However, you could be one of the fortunate
few. Here's what you need to know:
- Called "Type II" because these were
the “second” $20 Liberty coin design to be minted.
- The Type II Liberty Double Eagles were also the
first United States coin design to carry the motto "In God We Trust".
- Type II $20 Liberty Double Eagles were minted
only between 1866 and 1876, when the coin was once again redesigned, making
these the shortest series and thus the rarest of all $20 gold Liberties.
- As a result of the Gold Confiscation Act of 1933,
over 95% of all Type II coins minted were melted down, the highest destruction
rate for a post-1850 series, making premium quality, almost uncirculated
and uncirculated, Type II Liberty Double Eagles even harder to find.
- Their rarity and historical importance are the
primary reasons why certified Type II $20 Liberty Double Eagles have made
the cut year after year as one of our Final Five top coin picks.
- Type II $20 Liberty Double Eagles are twice as
rare as Type I Liberty Double Eagles by mintage.
- Certified Type II $20 Liberty Double Eagles are
ten times more rare than Type III Liberty Double Eagles in certified population
reports.
- Astoundingly, Type II $20 Liberty Double Eagles
are 100 times more rare than the popular $20 St. Gauden’s in certified
mint state condition.The $20 Liberty Type II is .9675 ounces of pure gold
- almost one full ounce of gold in every coin.
- Prices for these coins began to rise after the
publication of our manager, Mike Fuljenz’s award-winning book,
A Numismatic History & Analysis: Type II Double Eagles 1866-1876.
- With the price of gold soaring in today’s
bullish market environment, prices for certified Type II $20 Liberty Double
Eagles may never be this low again.
