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 value of a 1924 St. Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin
The 1907 St Gaudens UHR double eagle is actually a trial or pattern piece never intended for circulation. Sales of the 20 or so pieces have been infrequent but those in the last decade have been in excess of $1 million.There's much more information at the Related Link.
Only 4 denominations were struck in 1933, the Lincoln cent a Walking Liberty Half dollar a Indian Head $10.00 gold eagle and the $20.00 Saint-Gaudens double eagle
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
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.
