History
The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, marked a significant shift in American coinage aesthetics, moving towards artistic excellence. Introduced in 1907 under President Theodore Roosevelt's initiative, it was intended to beautify US currency. The high relief design, though beautiful, presented minting challenges, leading to subsequent modifications. This coin represents a period of artistic ambition in American numismatics.
Facts
The original high relief design was so challenging to mint that most were produced in a lower relief. The inscription of 'In God We Trust' was initially omitted, sparking controversy, but was added back in 1908. This denomination was a testament to America's gold standard and economic power during its era.
Value Fact
The market value for a 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief Double Eagle in MS62 condition typically ranges from $2,500 to $3,500. Demand is driven by collectors of iconic US gold coins and those appreciating early 20th-century American art. Its historical significance and striking design ensure consistent collector interest.
