[edit] Merge St. Gaudens Double Eagle into Double Eagle

Seems like two articles describing the same coin. I believe there is a Liberty Double Eagle (1877-1907) and a St. Gaudens Double Eagle (1907-1933). However, I doubt that two (or three) articles are required to describe Double Eagles. nirvana2013 11:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree. We have individual articles for different designs of other US coinage, for example, Lincoln cent or Susan B. Anthony Dollar. I see no reason to merge.--Wehwalt 19:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It seems the St. Gaudens Double Eagle has suffecient info to warrent an article on it's own, and being the highest priced and one of the most well known coins around doesn't hurt. Joe I 19:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Alternatively, Double Eagle could become a disambiguation page linking to Liberty Double Eagle and St. Gaudens Double Eagle articles. nirvana2013 12:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Damnit, ther's also 1933 Double Eagle, shouldn't that be merged with St. Gaudens Double Eagle, unless I'm missing something. But yes, if no merge, definatly a disambiguation page. Joe I 00:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

from the article: "…There are other extremely rare types of St. Gaudens double eagles, minted in 1907."

Still think both articles are about the same coin "design" the St. Gaudens Double Eagle. That article has info about the designer. The 1933 Double Eagle article describes the high auction price and history of that "individual" series of the same St. Gaudens Double Eagle. Suggest changing this article into the disambiguation page (and delete the awkward and mis-capitalized Double eagle (disambiguation) - and also include the link to the Liberty Double Eagle. P.S. The 1933 Double Eagle article is interesting, nearly a Featured article canidate. —dogears (talk • contribs) 04:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation for 1933's for display

Hmmm... I don't know that the mint ever actually "said" that they intended to save the coins for display, but this photo was taken in Atlanta in April at the ANA show. So it would seem their display is a result, but maybe not an intention. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 01:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
