1907 (2026) Best of the Mint Gold Twenty Dollars SP 250th Anniversary Privy Values
Details
Commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt as part of a bold initiative to elevate American coinage, the 1907 Saint-Gaudens design is widely regarded as the most beautiful U.S. coin ever struck.
Saint-Gaudens' design was featured on the Double Eagle from 1907 to 1933, when an executive order from President Franklin Roosevelt banned the ownership of gold coins.
This coin is made of Gold and has a current melt value of $4,568.21
Obverse:
Liberty, personified by a statuesque woman striding powerfully forward, leads the way with a torch in her front hand and an olive branch in her back hand on the obverse. The U.S. Capitol dome sits in the background.
Reverse:
On the reverse, a young eagle flying during a sunrise is depicted. A high relief version of this classic coin was produced only briefly in 1907. It remains a legend in numismatic history for its artistry, craftsmanship, and ambition.
