Private mints oftentimes have coins in different materials than what they advertise, but from what I can tell, the majority of National Collector's Mint double eagle "coins" are base metal (I'd assume either copper, steel, aluminum, nickel, zinc or some alloy of them) with a tiny amount of gold plating.

What is the CA mintmark on the Gaudens double eagle stand for?

I also have a double eagle with the ca mint mark. The ca is a 1908 with the C over stamped on the A. What does it stand for? The 'CA' is not a mint mark on the $20 Saint Gaudens gold double eagle. The mint mark on that coin is found ABOVE the date, not below. The 'CA' is not CA, it is actually 'ASG', the designer's initials: Augustus Saint Gaudens. The confusion is understandable, for 2 different reasons: A) The mint mark on US coins of that period is commonly under the date; and B) 'ASG' is hard to decipher, as the letters are on top of each other. At first glance it looks like a 'C', with an 'A' hung on the bottom of the 'C'. For a more details regarding this coin, see http://www.coinace.com/saint-gaudens-history.aspx


1925-1985 double eagle commemorative dollar?

The 1925-1985 Double Eagle Commemorative Dollar was issued by the United States Mint to celebrate the historic Double Eagle gold coin, originally created in 1849 during the California Gold Rush. This commemorative coin features a design similar to the original, showcasing Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Liberty on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse. While the original Double Eagles were minted in gold, the 1925-1985 version is produced in silver, making it accessible to collectors and enthusiasts. Its release marked the revival of interest in American numismatic history and gold coinage.
