Product Description

1908 US $20 Gold Coin (Double Eagle)- No Motto. This coin is graded UNC- Details by NGC. The noted detail is a scratch on the obverse, if not for that it would have graded as an MS-61 or better.

The "Saint Gaudens" Double Eagle is considered to be one of the most beautiful US coins ever designed. Minted from 1907 to 1933 the St. Gaudens is named after its designer, the sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens.

The modern US $50 Gold Eagle copied the Walking Liberty of the Saint Gaudens in it's design, a fitting tribute to the talent of St. Gaudens.

The first St Gaudens $20 coins omitted the motto "In God We Trust", because the coinage laws at the time did not require it. In 1908 Congress passed an act requiring the use of the motto on all denominations of coins on which the motto had previously appeared--including the eagle and double eagle. The reverse of the coin was redesigned to include the motto, and new design was introduced mid-year. This coin was minted before the change.
