Only one original Proof coin is known to have been struck. Even the foremost rare coin experts were unaware of its existence until it was accidentally found deep in the vaults of the national museum. America’s foremost authority on U.S. gold coins, David Akers, has written, “the 1854-S Double Eagle is easily the most significant and desirable branch mint Proof coin in existence.” With the recent auction sale of one of the three 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles for $7.9 million, senior numismatist Nicholas Bruyer estimates the unique 1854-S Proof Double Eagle would bring at least $12 million if it ever becomes available at auction.
Your 1854-S Double Eagle 150th Anniversary Gold Proof will be protected in a clear acrylic holder and mounted in a deluxe presentation case. A signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity will attest to the specifications and Limited Edition status of this exclusive private mintage.
