 A Legacy Cast in Gold

The US Mint began its rich tradition of gold coinage in 1795, a mere two years after the historic Coinage Act. Amidst the humble beginnings in Philadelphia, the Mint concentrated on striking copper and silver coins. However, the allure of gold was not to be overlooked, and soon the majestic Eagles, Half Eagles, and Quarter Eagles emerged, bearing values that truly corresponded with their gold content.

The Evolution of the US Gold Coin

Gold coinage was initially valued according to their intrinsic metal worth. The Eagle ($10), the Half Eagle ($5), and the Quarter Eagle ($2.50) contained gold quantities that were proportional to their denominations, offering both a medium of exchange and a store of value.

However, the landscape of currency changed dramatically with the economic turmoil of 1929 and subsequent government reforms under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As the worth of gold surpassed the face value of these coins, Roosevelt severed the gold standard and called for the relinquishment of gold coins through Executive Order 6102, to fortify the federal reserve.

The survival of these coins, post-confiscation, is a testament to their enduring value and historical significance. Circulating through eras of prosperity, depression, war, and peace, these coins are not merely collectibles but pieces of history that resonate with the American spirit.

 Pre-1933 Gold Coin Denominations and Designs

**The US Eagle**  

Struck until 1933, the Eagle's designs evolved from the Turban Head to the Liberty Head and Indian Head, with a gold content that eventually stabilized at 0.48375 troy ounces.

**The Half Eagle**  

The US Half Eagle was the $5 gold piece, changing in design and size over the years but always reflecting half the gold content of the Eagle.

**The Quarter Eagle**  

With a storied past and various design changes, the Quarter Eagle held a quarter of the Eagle's gold, marking it as a smaller but equally significant piece.

**The Double Eagle**  

Introduced due to the California Gold Rush, the Double Eagle was always minted with 90% gold, featuring the iconic Saint-Gaudens design that inspired modern bullion coins.

**The Gold Dollar**  

Minted from 1849 to 1889, the Gold Dollar was the Mint's one-dollar piece, containing 0.04837 troy ounces of gold, with designs ranging from the Liberty Head to the Large Head.

**The Three-Dollar Piece**  

The unique Three-Dollar gold piece, minted until 1889, shared design elements with the Gold Dollar and added diversity to the denominations offered by the US Mint.
