Well, the 57-S is 50 years older. Granted that isn't worth $7,000, but all things being equal it's worth a few bucks.

Seeing it on late night TV was all I needed to know joecoin. On other threads, people put it at $3000-4000. But hype has pumped up its price. The salesmen push the narrative of high grade Type I scarcity, and they certainly are nice looking coins, but....

Don't buy one today....there'll still be plenty tomorrow....

Agree there will always be plenty 1857-S double eagles available.

I assume you are comparing it to the 1907 Liberty head double eagle and not the 1907 Saint Gaudens.

There is another difference between the two liberty heads, that is the early one has no motto, which differentiates as a type coin.
