Why Pre-1933 Gold Matters

Gold that survived the melt.

In 1933, during the middle of the Depression, Executive Order 6102 recalled American gold coinage, making it illegal for private citizens to own gold coins. And it remained illegal for decades.

Most Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles were surrendered and melted into bars. The coins that survived are the ones held secretly, abroad, or off the books.

Every Reserve Edition begins with one of those survivors — professionally authenticated and graded MS-63 or higher before it ever reaches the bench. You're not buying gold by weight. You're preserving a coin that outlasted a mandate to destroy it.

U.S. MintEach coin is struck and guaranteed by the United States Mint — weight, purity, and gold content certified by the U.S. government.

Hand-smooth the edges, apply the final finish, inspect, and enter it in the Founder's Ledger.

Fit & Sizing Confidence

Get the size right before you commit.

Sizing is the one thing that stops people at this price. So we removed it as a risk entirely.

What if I choose the wrong size or I gain/lose weight?

Lifetime resizing is included. Send it back and we'll resize it, free, for as long as you own it.

How do I measure without a jeweler?

If you aren't sure of your size, select Request Ring Sizer instead of specifying your size. We'll mail you a sizer for free and wait for you to email us with it before we forge anything — it's the most accurate way to measure at home. Learn more about your three sizing options.

Can the coin ring be worn daily?

Yes — every piece is built for daily wear, not display. That said, like any fine jewelry, we recommend removing it before activities with heavy impact on your hands - yard work with tools, going to the gym, etc.

How long does a commission take?

Usually 2–3 business days, longer if a specific coin year is requested.

What happens after you commission

A delivery that feels like an event.

The moment you commission your piece, it goes to the bench — not a warehouse. Over the next 2–3 days, a specific coin is pulled from the vault, forged, finished, and inspected, specifically for you.

Then comes the email notification: it's on its way. Next Day shipping via UPS or FedEx, tracked and insured, so you know exactly when to expect the knock at the door.

You'll sign for it — a small formality that makes the moment feel real. And then a ritual you share with thousands before you:

Remove the smooth matte presentation box from the mailer. Slowly lift off the telescopic lid, and your Certificate of Record is the first thing you see, resting on top.

Snugly tucked into the foam insert, slide the linen-and-suede ring box free. Lift the top to find the coin you chose is a ring now, catching light for the first time outside the Foundry.

Setting the ring box aside, you hold the ring close, turn it over in your hand, marvel at the details, find the date, and notice its surprising weight.

Finally, you slip it on. That's the part people remember for years to come.
