$20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin | XF

The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is widely considered the finest coin the United States ever put into circulation, and an XF example puts that design in your hands at a price close to its gold content. Each coin holds 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold, giving investors real weight and collectors a genuine pre-1933 American gold piece.

Key Features:

• Purity & Weight: 90% gold, 33.436 grams gross, 0.9675 oz AGW
• Metal: Gold alloyed with copper for circulation durability
• Obverse: Liberty striding forward with torch and olive branch
• Reverse: Eagle in flight above a rising sun

The obverse shows Liberty advancing toward the viewer, torch raised in her right hand and an olive branch extended in her left. Her gown and hair stream behind her as sunrays fan upward from the lower field. A small Capitol dome sits at the left near her feet, the date occupies the right field, LIBERTY arcs across the top, and stars run the full circumference of the border.

On the reverse, an eagle flies left with wings fully spread, its feathers cut in long individual strokes across the upper field. A sun with radiating beams rises beneath the bird. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves along the top rim with TWENTY DOLLARS below it, and IN GOD WE TRUST sits near the bottom edge.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens created the design at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt, who wanted American coinage to rival the sculptural quality of ancient Greek issues. The series ran from 1907 through 1933 and ended when gold coins were pulled from circulation.

These coins measure 34 mm in diameter and carry a lettered edge reading E PLURIBUS UNUM with stars between the words. At XF (Extremely Fine), light wear appears on the high points such as Liberty’s knee, breast, and the eagle’s wing, while all major detail stays sharp and fully outlined. Dates and mintmarks vary with available inventory.

Few gold coins combine bullion weight, U.S. legal tender history, and this level of artistry. Add a $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle to your order today while circulated examples remain available.
