Title A name given to the resource 1908 Saint Gaudens Motto Subject The topic of the resource Saint-Gaudens $20 (1907-1933) Mint: Philadelphia Mintage: 156,258 Obverse Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens Reverse Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens Composition: Gold Fineness: 0.9000 Weight: 33.4400g AGW: 0.9675oz Melt Value: $1682.66 (4/7/2021) Diameter: 34mm Edge: Lettered Description An account of the resource Jeff Garrett: Congress simply could not stand to see any coin without the motto IN GOD WE TRUST featured prominently. In 1908 it was decided to restore the motto on the reverse above the sun. Additional modifications were undertaken by engraver Charles Barber, which included slightly changing the font style of the lettering, adding a pupil to the eye of the eagle, adding a ninth feather to the tail of the eagle, and reducing the sun’s rays by one to total 33. The 1908 With Motto Double Eagle is actually quite scarce in all states of preservation. The issue is seen far less than many other double eagles of the era. Most are well struck with light green–gold colorations. The Smithsonian collection has only one example and the coin is graded AU 58. The finest coins of the issue graded by NGC have been at the MS 66 level, one of which sold for $32,200 in 2005. The mintage for proof coins for the year is 101 pieces. Most were struck with deep, matte surfaces. A unique example is known with satin Proof surfaces. The coin last sold for $276,000 at public auction in 2005.

Title A name given to the resource 1907 Saint Gaudens No Motto Subject The topic of the resource Saint-Gaudens $20 (1907-1933) Mint: Philadelphia Mintage: 12,367 Obverse Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens Reverse Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens Composition: Gold Fineness: 0.9000 Weight: 33.4400g AGW: 0.9675oz Melt Value: $1683.19 (4/7/2021) Diameter: 34mm Edge: Lettered Description An account of the resource Jeff Garrett: The 1907 High Relief Double Eagle is one of the most popular coins ever struck by the United States Mint. The coins are sculptural in appearance and are considered by many to be the most beautiful regular issue gold coin ever produced. Unfortunately, the design was also impractical and redesigned by Charles Barber later in the year. The date is given in Roman numerals (the coins nickname by some) and lacks the Motto, IN GOD WE TRUST. President Roosevelt believed that money could easily be used for ungodly pursuits such as gambling and thus the name of the Lord should not be used on coinage. The 1907 High Relief is categorized by most as either Wire Rim or Flat Rim. The coins are identical except for raised metal around the rims. This is probably the result of some tinkering by the Mint while they struggled to produce coins with such extreme relief. Around the late 1960s or early 1970s experts began to describe certain 1907 High Relief Double Eagles as Proof. These coins are certainly different, but not exactly like the latter Proof Double Eagles of the series. There are no mintage figures and the origins of the coins are a mystery. The coins have deep swirling die lines and exhibit a satiny surface similar to the Roman finish Proof gold coins. A fairly large number exist and it is my opinion that they are the result of experimentation with the new design by Mint employees. Many, if not the great majority of the original mintage was saved when the 1907 High Reliefs were issued. Thousands still exist and most seen are in some form of Mint State. Gem examples can easily be purchased if budget permits. A few nearly flawless examples are known. The finest High Relief graded by NGC is a PR 69 that sold for $534,000 in 2005.

This is far fewer than the prior year's output of 1,987 pieces. However, a good number of the coins have clearly survived, as NGC has graded over 400 examples. Most tend to come with little to no cameo contrast, with only a mere 8 examples earning the ultra cameo designation.
