Zipperek Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi All, my grandma made me a gift today, she gave me a golden coin. Google tells me its a Liberty Head Double Eagle us 20dollars from 1900. Friend - a jewellery store owner says its gold indeed. My question is what is the real value of such coin? I have no box for it so i cant tell what serie it is. http://i.imgur.com/vzTpxAd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tFxr2K2.jpg thanks for any replies - im newbie in the terms of coins cheers!

ccg Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hello and welcome! The 1900 (no mintmark / Philadephia issue) US$20 coin is one of the most common dates of its series. Your piece looks to be near mint. It's got just under an ounce of pure gold in it, and it generally trades for close to the value of the gold in it - I would guess *retail* value would probably be "spot" (scrap gold value) +10%, give or take.

Zipperek Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks for reply CCG, so basicly its price depends on price of gold and keeping it or selling its like gambling on a stock market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to both parts of the question. But being that it was a gift, I'd say why not keep it as a memento unless you really need the money?
