Pre-1933 U.S. coins represent a unique opportunity to own authentic American history while building lasting wealth. Indeed, before 1933, gold and silver coins circulated as everyday currency—Double Eagles, Eagles, and Half Eagles were the backbone of American commerce.
Today, these historic coins offer investors both numismatic value and intrinsic precious metal content. Furthermore, at Elite Coin Group, we specialize in certified vintage coins authenticated and graded by PCGS or NGC for your complete confidence.
$20 Double Eagles (1849-1933): First, these are the largest regular-issue U.S. coins from this era, containing nearly one ounce of pure gold. Notably, Saint-Gaudens and Liberty Head designs are highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.
$10 Eagles (1795-1933): Second, these half-ounce coins feature Indian Head and Liberty designs. Moreover, they offer an excellent balance of precious metal content and collectibility.
$5 Half Eagles (1795-1929): Third, these quarter-ounce coins have a rich history spanning early American coinage through the early 20th century. As a result, they are popular among new investors entering the vintage coin market.
$2.50 Quarter Eagles (1796-1929): Finally, these smaller denominations offer accessible entry points into historic coin collecting. Additionally, they carry significant numismatic value despite their compact size.
In addition to gold, the pre-1933 era produced remarkable silver coins that remain popular with collectors today. Consequently, many investors diversify their holdings with both metals.
Morgan Silver Dollars (1878-1921): These iconic coins contain 0.77 oz of silver and feature the Liberty Head design by George T. Morgan. Furthermore, key dates and mint marks can command significant premiums.
Peace Silver Dollars (1921-1935): Similarly, Peace dollars offer beautiful Art Deco styling and substantial silver content. They represent the final era of circulating silver dollar production.
Walking Liberty Half Dollars (1916-1947): Specifically, these coins are considered among the most beautiful U.S. coin designs ever produced.
