$1 Gold Coins

January 10, 2010 - Although the current commemorative presidential coins are $1 gold coins, the originals hold more value. Minted from 1849 to 1854, this Liberty Head Gold Dollar was quite popular and today is a valuable collector’s coin. A small coin, the Liberty Head was approximately one-half ounce of 90% gold, with the remaining 10% consisting of copper.

Though only minted for 5 years, a large number were minted and the coins were widely used in generally currency. The significance of this revolves around the fact that the circulated coins lose much of their value among collectors. This means that while many were minted, very few still possess the desired quality, and 63 to 65 grade coins can bring very good prices, with some samples being found in the $1,000 to $1,500 category.

Scarcity and good condition form the winning combination for collector’s coins. Because high quality coins command higher prices, it can be very beneficial to use an exchange to purchase them. Exchanges typically specialize in independently certified coins and have access to a wide number of buyers and sellers, allowing them to find the coins that their clients seek.
