Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins are popular with collectors and investors throughout the world. Many were saved by individuals or stored by banks. Some circulated, as originally intended, but many survive in uncirculated, or mint, condition. The U.S. gold $20, or double eagle, enjoys steady demand from collectors and investors. As a bullion coin, the double eagle contains nearly one troy ounce of gold, which makes it easy to price in relation to its intrinsic value. Portability and liquidity also contribute to the coin’s popularity. Double eagles are widely bought and sold and readily available through any dealer who stocks gold coins.
