1927 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coin PCGS MS66

The $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle was first struck in 1907 as part of President Theodore Roosevelts mission to give American coinage greater artistic merit. He turned to Augustus Saint-Gaudens, a famous sculptor, to design coins that reflected the same kind of beauty and detail seen in classical Greek pieces.

She is shown walking forward with a torch raised in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. At her feet, the U.S. Capitol building can be seen with sunlight radiating in the background. **Reverse** The reverse design of the 1927 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle depicts a bald eagle in left-profile relief as it soars across the sky. Beneath the bird is a rising sun. These Type III strikes are noted for their lower relief, use of Arabic numerals for the date, and the inclusion of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. **History** Saint-Gaudens was influenced by ancient Greco-Roman art and imagery, especially the allegorical figure of Victory. He chose to represent Liberty as a moving, active figure, breaking away from the more rigid portraits found on earlier U.S. coinage. His admiration for the artistry of Greek dekadrachms guided the detail in his work. **Ordering** BGASC customer service can help you with gold for sale at 888-992-4272.
