Description:Less than 20 examples are known in all grades, and in researching the last 20 years of auctions, only eight have appeared (and this is the first we have the privilege to auction).

The 1849 Mormon $20 Gold holds the unique distinction of being the first circulating double eagle issued in the United States. It wasn't until 1850 that the U.S. Mint issued Double Eagles.

This coin last appeared in auction as part of the Gainsborough Collection, September 1980, where it realized $19,000. The coin comes with the original lot tag from the 1980 auction.

About GreatCollections Certified Coin & Currency Auctions

GreatCollections was founded by Ian Russell and Raeleen Endo to improve how coins and paper money are sold at auction. While there are many places to buy and sell coins and paper money, very few ensure that the transaction is conducted in a safe and secure manner while keeping both parties confidential. Since 2010, GreatCollections has sold over 1,000,000 certified coins and paper money totaling over $1 billion. GreatCollections has handled many of the greatest rarities in U.S. numismatics, including two 1804 Silver Dollars, the finest 1913 Nickel Ex. Eliasberg, the finest 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar and a 1907 Saint-Gaudens Gold Ultra High Relief graded PCGS Proof-68 CAC from the famed Col. Green Collection.

GreatCollections offers collectors, dealers and professionals an extensive selection of certified coins and paper money ranging in price from $25 up to over $100,000 certified by the leading third-party grading companies including PCGS, NGC, PMG and ANACS. GreatCollections is also the leading auction house of CAC approved coins. All coins and currency have been professionally listed, reviewed and imaged by GreatCollections expert staff.
