1904 Liberty Head $5 Gold Main Image

Grade

Presentation

<p>Struck over a century ago at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, the 1904 Liberty Head $5 gold pieces are genuine historic mementos of an earlier era in America. Five dollars was of course a far more precious sum in 1904 than it is today, so having a $5 Liberty Head in your pocket was an unusual treat. The classic long-running design of the Liberty Heads has made this series a favorite, and a great addition to any collection!</p><br/>

1881 Liberty Head $10 Gold AU50 Main Image

Over 3.8 million Liberty Head $10 gold pieces (or eagles) were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1881. Though a great many have been lost to the melting pots over the years, enough 1881 Liberty Head eagles remain in existence today that the coins are moderately priced in all grades. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the $10 Liberty Head depicts Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. Add the 1881 to your collection today!

1866-1907 Gold $10 Liberty Head with Case Main Image

<p>Designed by Christian Gobrecht, these coins displayed a smaller, revised depiction of Liberty. Her hair was placed in a loose bun with braiding around the forehead and temples &ndash; a departure from earlier designs, which showed Liberty wearing a cap. The reverses show an eagle with a shield, clutching arrows and olive branches in its talons.</p><br/>

1914-D $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Main Image

<p>Designed by the prominent sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the U.S. $20 gold pieces of 1907-1933 are highly acclaimed for their exquisite artistry and superb detail. The coins feature a striding Liberty on the obverse, with an eagle in flight on the reverse. Rays of the sun are seen in the background on both sides of the coin. The 1914-D Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece was struck at the Denver Mint and will be a highlight of your collection!</p><br/>

1884-CC $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle Main Image

<p>The Carson City Mint produced U.S. coins only from 1870-1893 and less than 3% of $20 gold pieces minted during those years were struck at Carson City. These low-mintage Liberty Heads, issued for local and regional use, were struck with gold from the Comstock Lode! This lustrous 1884-CC $20 piece is oh so close to Mint State! Experts estimate fewer than 3,000 exist today in all grades, and this scarce beauty will be a treasured acquisition for one collector!</p><br/>

1914 Gold $2.50 Indian Head Quarter Eagle Main Image

Now add a low-mintage 1914 Indian Head quarter eagle featuring unique incused design to your collection. Designer Bela Lyon Pratt chose to sink or "incuse" the coin&#39;s designs below the surfaces, rather than use traditional raised designs. This created a distinctive look found only on America&#39;s $2.50 (and $5.00) gold coins of 1908-29!<br><br>According to numismatist David Akers, these low-mintage 1914 $2.50 gold pieces are the second rarest coins in the series. Just 240,117 were issued at the Philadelphia Mint. Through time, many have been lost or melted for their 90% gold content. But now, even after 100 years, we&#39;re able to offer you these coins in detailed condition, still showing their artistic quality and some original luster. Don&#39;t wait &ndash; add this unique gold design to your collection today!

1878 $3 Gold Indian Head Main Image

<p>Considered one of the most unusual coin denominations struck by the U.S. Mint, the beautiful $3 Indian Princess gold coin was supposedly created to make it easier to purchase a sheet of one hundred 3&cent; stamps or a bag of one hundred 3&cent; silver coins. But the public never embraced the idea and as a result, mintages were low.</p><br/><p>Designed by James Longacre, the obverse shows Liberty as an Indian Princess facing left, wearing a headdress inscribed with <span sx="{'fontVariant': 'small-caps'}">liberty</span>. Struck only in limited quantities from 1854 to 1889 (a total of 538,074 coins were produced, during the span of 36 years) the beautiful $3 Indian Princess is now a scarce, precious 19th century collectible.</p><br/>

	<p><strong>Once Used In Commerce, Now Coveted By Collectors</strong> &bull; For thousands of years, gold coins served as the backbone of commerce. So when America established its currency system, the Coinage Act of 1792 called for three denominations of US gold coins: the gold eagle ($10), the <a id="Category_Bullion_US-Gold_liberty-head-gold-coins_Blog" target="_blank" href="https://blog.littletoncoin.com/liberty-head-gold-coins/">gold half eagle ($5)</a> and the gold quarter eagle ($2.50). Since then, US coinage has grown to include other gold coins – including ones struck for commerce, commemorative issues and no less than four separate series of gold bullion coins.</p>

      <h2>Gold Rushes Bring New U.S. Gold Coins</h2>
      <p>It didn't take long for "gold fever" to sweep the new nation. In 1802, a hefty 17-lb. rock being used as a doorstop in North Carolina <a id="Category_Bullion_US-Gold_doorstop-sets-off-americas-first-gold-rush_Blog" target="_blank" href="https://blog.littletoncoin.com/doorstop-sets-off-americas-first-gold-rush/">was identified as gold</a>. The first US gold rush was on! By 1835, the US Mint had established a branch mint in Charlotte. Then the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 triggered the great California gold rush and the establishment of the San Francisco Mint. New denominations of US gold coins were also struck, including the gold dollar, the $3 gold piece, the $4 gold "Stella" and the $20 gold Double Eagle.</p>
	  <h2>Outlawed for Forty Years</h2>
	  <p>In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order requiring all persons turn in not only their US gold coins, but all gold bullion and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve – or face hefty fines and/or imprisonment. Gold remained illegal to own for over 40 years, until President Gerald Ford rescinded the order and signed Public Law 93-373 on December 31, 1974, making it legal once more for US citizens to own gold and use it in trade.</p>
	  <h2>A New Age for U.S. Gold Coins</h2>
	  <p>On December 17, 1985 President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Gold Bullion Coin Act. Gold coins were no longer used in everyday commerce, but the mint once again had the authority to issue gold coins. The popular American Eagle bullion series was quickly introduced. And since then, no less than three other series of US gold bullion coins have been issued: the American Buffalo, the First Spouse and the American Liberty.
