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:
- The coin is called "Type II" because these were the
second $20 Liberty coin designs to be minted.
- The Type II Liberty Double Eagles were also the first United
States $20 gold coin designed 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 Select 4 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 approximately ten times as rare
as Type III Liberty Double Eagles in certified population reports.
- Astoundingly, Type II $20 Liberty Double Eagles are almost 100 times
as rare as 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 many of these coins began to rise after the publication of
1st American Reserve consultant 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 many certified Type II $20 Liberty Double
Eagles may never be this low again. Buying now could save you money.
