The iconic Liberty Eagle occupies a unique and significant place in American history. Minted since 1839, the Gold Liberty Eagle played a vital role in powering various industries, serving as a catalyst for transactions among entrepreneurs nationwide. COIN HIGHLIGHTS: Approximately 217,800 of these coins were minted; however, only a fraction entered circulation. The Liberty Eagle was eventually succeeded by the St. Gaudens Double Eagle in 1907, leading to the discontinuation of its widespread use. Following the cessation of the Gold Standard in 1933, many of these coins not in circulation were melted for their gold content. The Liberty Head Double Eagle came in three denominations—the highest being the ten-dollar piece, followed by the $5 half-eagle and the $2.5 quarter-eagle.
