Rare Pre-1933 $20 Gold Double Eagle Coin & Miley Busiek-Designed $50 American Gold Eagle Lead the Dec 23rd Colorado Conductor Coin Auction
Dec 23, 2023 11:00 ESTIn 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt prohibited American citizens from holding monetary Gold during the Great Depression. All “Double Eagle” Gold coins were returned to the U.S. Treasury and cast into Gold bars to help fight the Great Depression. As a result, collectible Gold coins were affected, changing the course of history for monetary Gold. Leading the upcoming December 23rd Colorado Conductor Coin Auction from Gold Standard Auctions is a 1924 $20 Gold Double Eagle PCGS MS65. This pre-1933 gold coin combines a Lady Liberty design and Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle. It does not include the motto “In God We Trust,” which wasn’t added until after 1933. In this rare coin, the number of stars surrounding Lady Liberty on the obverse changed from 46 to 48 when New Mexico and Arizona became states.
The coin auction further includes a 1987 $50 American Gold Eagle PGA PR70 DCAM. American Gold Eagle coins minted from 1986 to 2021 depicted an eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a second eagle and hatchlings. It was designed by sculptor Miley Busiek. This coin also features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ full-length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.
