Excellent strike and luster on this first year of issue in the St Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin series. This is a red hot area in the coin market with plus signs appearing literally across the spectrum in the latest Coin Dealer Newsletter Monthly Summary. The gold market which seems to be reaching new highs every week with the imploding US Dollar is helping things along quite spectacularly. There seems to be a real interest from not only collectors but investors in almost all US gold coins but Double Eagle Gold coins of course have always captured people's interests. Buy a few and sock them away as a diversification in your portfolio.
