Double eagles have always been one of my favorite series. The first one I ever owned was an 1855-S when I was a teenager in the early 1950s. Graded perhaps EF-40, it was fascinating to hold. Where had it been in the past hundred years? How did it get from San Francisco to the East Coast? At the time I was learning as much as possibly by reading books, auction catalogs, and back issues of the American Journal of Numismatics, The Numismatist, and The Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine. Then, as now, the yearly Guide Book of United States Coins gave annual updates on prices.
