What is the value of a 1908 US 2 dollar gold piece?

Answer 1

Two types of $20 gold coin were struck in 1907. If you have a coin with Miss Liberty's head shown on the front, look on the back to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be a D or S.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 05/2010:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $1,500

Moderately worn - $1,620

Slightly worn - $1,670

Almost no wear - $1,722

Uncirculated - $1,800 to $9,520 depending on quality

"D" mint mark (Denver):

Very worn - $1,500

Moderately worn - $1,620

Slightly worn - $1,670

Almost no wear - $1,722

Uncirculated - $1,800 to $76,280

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

Very worn - $1,500

Moderately worn - $1,620

Slightly worn - $1,670

Almost no wear - $1,722

Uncirculated - $1,800 to $27,680

If the front of your coin has a full-length image of Miss Liberty holding a torch, and the back has a soaring eagle, it's called a St. Gaudens variety after its designer and should be evaluated by a dealer or appraiser. Different varieties of the St Gaudens design were made in 1907 and their values range from those comparable to the Liberty Head variety, all the way up to about a quarter of a million dollars.

Answer 2

In circulated condition -- about $1100 as of 08/2008

Nice uncirculated ones go for more, depending on exactly what grade they are and whether they are with or without motto.

Answer 3

For historical reasons the US never struck a $2 gold piece, but instead minted the odd denomination of $2.50.

If your coin is a $2.50 piece, please see the Related Question for values.

Answer 4

Current retail values for circulated coins are $178.00-$312.00
