U.S. Gold coins from the 1700s are all but out of reach in price. A Very Fine grade 1795 $5 Half Eagle today is valued at $26,000 and a Very Fine grade 1795 $10 Eagle is valued at $40,000! But long ago when our country was born, there was another gold coin being used - a $1 gold coin often referred to as "America's First Gold Dollar." Today, this coin is an essential part of every American coin collection, although scarcity makes it extremely difficult to find.

So when a rare-coin dealer representing a New England estate called us recently with 203 of these gold dollars for sale, we immediately booked flights to Boston and bought all 203 on the spot. Now our good fortune is your golden opportunity!

Congress officially authorized Spanish coins such as these as official U.S. legal tender during the first half century of our nation's history, This Spanish Gold Half Escudo would have jingled in the pockets of Founding Fathers such as Ben Franklin, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. More than likely, this gold coin was used to help finance the American Revolutionary War, since many were lost or later melted down by the U.S. Government, this is a true historical treasure.
