$20 pieces vs. eagles
 

Is the gold content the same for both $20 pieces and eagles?
I know they don't make $20 pieces anymore but when push comes to shove, doesn't it boil down to the actual amount of gold in a coin? Thx

:15_1_70v:
The US$20 gold coins were minted from 1849 till 1933 gold was valued at $20.67 per ounce so 20/20.67= .967 ounces of gold.

The gold american eagles minted from 1986 to date are 1 ounce of gold.

Both coins are alloyed are 90% (.916) gold and a 10% copper/silver alloy.

For most of the common gold coins.

$20s are 90% (.900), Eagles are 22K (.9167)

You will pay a numismatic or "semi-numismatic" premium on the $20s because of their antique status. Unless you can get them much nearer to spot than usual, you are better off with the Eagles, more gold, better liquidity.

$50 eagles are 22k and $20 are 90%

And hey, dont forget they they are making a 2009 $20 gold coin, 24k 1ozt.

Awesome coins ! But too soft. They should have opted for .900 or .9167

Re: $20 pieces vs. eagles
 

They are making them only in 2009 and I believe that all of them will be in proof condition.

You better get a few PCGS PR70 and sit on em
