1907 (2026) Best of the Mint Gold Twenty Dollars SP 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.
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.
