Special "Type-I" $20 Double Eagle and Book Offer:
During the 19th century, a "young" America experienced the sensational California Gold Rush . . . a Civil War that pitted brother against brother . . . and the minting of its first $20 gold coin, the Type-I Double Eagle.
It was, in fact, the immense amounts of gold produced by the Gold Rush that inspired and permitted the minting of the large Double Eagle gold pieces. This caused the U.S. government to seek a more compact form to pay large-scale domestic and international transactions that were payable in gold. Thus, the $20 Double Eagle was born.
Once extremely rare and prohibitively expensive, Type-I Double Eagles (minted from 1849 to 1866) today are more affordable than ever, thanks to the lost hoards of Type-I coins discovered and retrieved from the S.S. Brother Jonathan, S.S. Central America and S.S. Republic shipwrecks. Today, despite consistent price gains over the years, quality Type-I Double Eagle specimens are available and still very affordable for the private investor.

DID YOU KNOW???
Of all of the coins featured in Jeff Garrett's 100 Greatest U.S. Coins, a book endorsed by the Professional Numismatists Guild, an astounding seven are Type-I Double Eagles, more than any other coin series. Over the years, Monaco Rare Coin has purchased and sold five of these world-class coins (and some of them more than once) . . . the two exceptions being the 1849 and the 1854-S Presentation Strike specimens, both of which are one-of-a-kind "ultra-ultra-rarities" residing in the National Numismatic Collection of the Smithsonian Institution. While some Type-I Double Eagles can today command prices into the millions of dollars (the 1861 "Paquet" being the most prominent) most dates can be acquired for far less . . . and some beautiful examples for just a few thousand dollars.
