I can’t wait to get one of these, even if it is a common!

Everyone is a work of art! 😀

[@CampbellsCoins]

Love your videos and the stats you post. Makes me feel great about the pre33 I stack and collect

[@Ontario100]

Thanks for watching. I enjoy your channel as well. 😀👍 Question for you: Are you getting any sense that common date pre-33 gold is being melted down since this increase in the spot price? Just wondering if common date gold might get hard to find in the future. thanks

[@CampbellsCoins]

@@Ontario100 I can't answer to if they are actually being melted down but I have noticed a lot of pre33 in the last two months in AU shape or lower being sold for melt. Heck I saw three double eagles in BU for melt. It wouldn't surprise me if people were melting them down but what a shame if they were. Strictly speaking in gold, I see the premium holding for grades MS63 and up. Depending on year of course.

[@Ontario100]

@@CampbellsCoins Thanks!

[@SalivateMetal]

What a beauty! Too bad it's not in the new holders so you can enjoy the edge inscriptions. Thanks for sharing those facts with us. I agree. It is one of the most beautiful coins out there!!

[@Ontario100]

Yes! It would be nice to see the edges. Thanks for watching!!

[@Car1Sagan]

There's edge lettering on these? I thought they were reeded.

[@Ontario100]

@@Car1Sagan The edge contains the motto "E Pluribus Unum" and stars.

[@Car1Sagan]

@@Ontario100 so its a smooth edge?

[@Ontario100]

@@Car1Sagan I would call it a raised edge.

[@Dr.G]

Great example. Problems with the relief caused a myriad of problems for everyone involved with the making of this coin. Eventually the low relief version most people have was actually re engraved by Charles Barber to bring out details lost in the poor reduction of a "too large" model used in the Janvier reduction lathe. Ultimately, I think he did a pretty good job. Although Barber is not one of my favorite mint employees. 😀

[@Ontario100]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I always learn something from your comments!!

[@667hodge]

Being an ex-machinist,I know of this.It was a pantograph lathe,which allowed artists to make bigger designs and it would machine the dies down to the desired size.They were used for a long time until CNC's made it even easier

[@jb-aglet]

She's lovely!

[@garethbates5044]

Wow. I need one!

[@Ontario100]

They can be addictive! lol 😀👍

[@ThePlatypusReturns]

i think only the Walking liberty half comes anywhere near the beauty of the St. Gaudens, in particular, i personally like the eagle on the reverse of the silver half a bit more. However , that is one beauty of a coin you have there !!

[@Ontario100]

Thanks, I never get tired of looking at this coin! 😀👍 Thanks for your support!

[@NolimitTEXAS]

I have the 1933 edition

[@silverdrillpickle7596]

Prettiest coin ever minted by any nation, imo.

[@Ontario100]

Yes, it is! Thanks!!

[@najattvmorocco8164]

👍👍👍.

[@joemessenger9716]

Did they mass produce the 1933

[@Ontario100]

Over 400,000 were minted but none were officially circulated. There are a few known, however. Thanks!

[@joemessenger9716]

@@Ontario100 are any of the 1933 illegal to have? They have certificates.

[@Ontario100]

Yes, I believe so unless the government has specifically given you permission to have them. There are a couple in existence.

[@khalilghamloush8075]

Hallo I have one from 1926, can i know how much it’s worth?? Best regards

[@Ontario100]

Depends on the condition, but probably around $2,100 with the price of gold being up.

[@Car1Sagan]

The Fed really screwed things up back then... still doing so today.

Welcome! Thanks for watching. I enjoy channel very much too. :-)

[@marvindubon6346]

I have a 1923 20 dollars gold coin, anyone knows how much it worth ?

[@Ontario100]

Sorry to say, but there are many fakes out there. The coin would need to be authenticated. (slabbed) If it is real, gold is at $1,850, so the melt value of the coin is $1,790. ($1,850 X .967= $1,790) Has the coin already been slabbed? If so, what is the grade? A Mint State coin would be worth more. A high mint state (65 or higher) much more. I hope this helps. 👍

[@staceyrosso9024]

How much is it worth

[@Ontario100]

About $2,800 in today's market.
