Sales of the new high relief U.S. double eagle gold coin continue to impress. The revised run of the 1933 collector’s item has managed to sell upwards of 41,664 coins since its release in early 2009. This, in total, amounts to over US$ 49.5 million in revenue from collectors of gold coins, and sales of this coin are still going strong. Demand has peaked so rapidly that a one-coin-per-household selling limit has been put in place to keep supply available for all interested parties.
Following closest so far to the original vision of famed designer Augustus St. Gaudens, these new ultra high relief coins, made available online by Gainesville Coins, now have the high relief that St. Gaudens had in mind for the first release of the coin.
Original copies of the double eagle first appeared back in 1907 following the orders of President Theodore Roosevelt. These coins designed by St. Gaudens had to be revised twice over. The original high relief coins could not stack properly, and the design had to be flattened.
The coin has since gone on to be one of the most beautiful designs of its denomination. This new run of the Double Eagle Gold coins brings a rare chance for new and old collectors of coins to get a coin closest to St. Gaudens’s brilliant design proposal.
