– SOLDThe 1911 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is part of the series designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which is often considered one of the most beautiful coin designs in American numismatic history. This coin was minted during a period of economic growth and is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the early 20th century.
Designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this coin’s artistry is unmatched. On the obverse, Lady Liberty strides forward powerfully, torch held high, draped in flowing robes with the Capitol building faintly in the background. Her detailed, frosted figure stands out in exquisite contrast to the dark, mirror-like field surrounding her, a stunning effect created by its Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish. This brilliant cameo effect showcases the skill of the mint’s artisans and captures the artistic grandeur that made the Saint-Gaudens series legendary.
On the reverse, an eagle soars boldly into the sun’s rays, symbolizing America’s progress and hope. This coin, with its PR65 grade from PCGS, boasts exceptional preservation, with only the faintest marks and all the brilliance of its original finish intact—a testament to its rarity and quality.
This Double Eagle represents the closing chapter of an era when gold coins were symbols of strength and prosperity, a time when the United States embraced art and innovation in its currency. Adding this coin to your collection means owning not only a scarce and beautiful artifact but also a piece of America’s heritage, a story of artistry, history, and resilience in gold.
