1870-S Longacre $3 Gold
100% Precious Metal! Struck on double gold plated silver planchet!

R57 1870-S Longacre $3 Gold BU . . . $43

     This faithful reproduction of the unique 1870-S $3 gold piece is an outstanding example of one of America's most lengendary coins! It is struck in pure silver and layered in pure gold. The word copy is neatly worked into the reverse in strict accordance with Link:The Hobby Protection Act.

     While, you may never be able to own the genuine coin, you can own it as a high quality reproduction from the Royal Oak Mint! Isn't it time you filled that hole? This is not a cheap silver-round size reproduction! It is struck from expensive, custom manufactured tooling designed especially for a $3 gold piece!

It offers the following combined features:

  • The word "COPY" on the reverse is virtually hidden in the wreath.
  • It is 100% precious metal comprised of a layer of 24 karat gold over pure silver!
  • It’s struck to an exact size that will allow it will fit into an album designed to hold a $3 dollar gold piece!  If it doesn’t fit – what good is it?

     There is only one specimen of this pattern (Judd-1776/Pollock-1998) coin in existence! It makes us wonder if and when it ever comes up for sale: will it shatter the record for the unique 1933 Double Eagle Gold coin that was auctioned by Sotheby's & Stack's on July 30, 2002 for a record 7.59 million dollars?

     While, you may never be able to own the genuine pattern, you can own it as a high quality specimen striking from the Royal Oak Mint! This is not a cheap silver-round size reproduction! It is struck from expensive, custom manufactured tooling designed especially for a $20 gold piece!

It offers the following combined features:

  • The word "COPY" on the reverse is virtually hidden near the rim behind the word AMERICA.
  • It is 100% precious metal comprised of a double layer of 24 karat gold over pure silver!
  • It's struck to an exact size that will allow it will fit into an album designed to hold a $20 dollar gold piece! If it doesn't fit - what good is it?

1933 Augustus Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold
100% Precious Metal! Struck on double gold plated silver planchet!

Spring 2006

     This is a faithful reproduction of the legendary ultra-rare 1933 Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Piece!  An executive order issued in March of 1933, recalled all common-date gold coins and in effect -- took the United States off the "gold standard" forever.  As a result, nearly the entire mintage of 1933 Saint-Gaudens Gold $20 Double Eagles was melted by the government!

     Only a few pieces, then thought to have been clandestinely removed from the Mint, and one other officially given to King Farouk of Egypt, escaped this initial destruction (many or perhaps all of the clandestine pieces have since been seized by the Treasury Department and most presumably destroyed).

     Every collector should have been able to own one of these historic coins and now you can!  The Royal Oak Mint version is struck on a pure silver planchet that has been double plated in pure 24 k gold and is of correct diameter (within reasonable tolerances); the reverse shows "COPY" incuse, neatly and inconspicuously worked into the field behind the word AMERICA.  It looks and feels like the real thing and it fits perfectly into the collection!  Isn't it time for you to fill that hole?

Points To Ponder

  • Two other competing reproductions of this coin are currently being marketed but neither will fit into an album! 

  • The one being promoted on national television (and newspapers) is cheaper but it is struck with a layer of gold on a cheap base metal planchet which is of 39 mm "silver round size" -- far too large to fit into a "type set" or $20 gold piece album.

  • The price of the nationally advertised version is cheaper because the materials are cheap and the tooling and planchet size being used for it are of the industry standard for silver rounds (and other base metal 39 mm medals).  No custom tooling, except for the dies, was produced.  When you cut corners and use cheap materials and conform to existing tooling that is of the wrong size -- the product reflects it!  If it doesn't fit into an album -- what good is it?

  • The nationally advertised version is also being struck in huge numbers!  Although the mintages are stated to be low, if you read the "fine print," you will notice they are stated to be low for specific "editions" being offered.  Not stated in the ads is that many "editions" are being struck!  Each "edition" of the nationally advertised version only differs from other "editions" (of the exact same coin) by a different letter (or series of letters) that prefixes the serial number machined into the reverse of each coin!

  • While the nationally advertised version does not show the legally required word, "COPY," on the coin in it's ads -- what it really delivers is a coin with a huge, ugly, long cartouche which contains the word "COPY" alongside the coin's alphanumerical serial number!

  • The other competitor-coin is actually quite interesting as it is struck on a 2 oz. gold plated silver planchet (marked "COPY .999 Silver" on the reverse).  While this one ought to be of interest to silver round collectors, it is obviously over twice the diameter of the genuine item and not suitable for a coin album or the average collector wishing to capture some semblance of the real thing.

  • Royal Oak Mint's version is struck with expensive custom tooling to produce this one coin in order to assure the collector that it looks real and will fit into a coin album.  Royal Oak Mint's placement of the legally required word, COPY, is inconspicuously located on the reverse.  There is no cumbersome statement of purity or pointless, alphanumerical serial numbers to clutter the reverse.  The Royal Oak Mint version is struck on pure silver which is layered with a double-thickness of pure gold so that the coin has "wearing qualities" and can be placed into a gold bezel and worn as a jewelry item for many years to come without wearing out if that option is so desired!
