1908 $20 St Gaudens Gold Double Eagle No Motto BU
In 1908, the Philadelphia Mint produced a remarkable run of twenty-dollar gold coins that remain celebrated for their artistic depth. This particular issue, struck in 0.900 fine gold, contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents a fascinating moment in American coinage, displaying the original vision of the design before a religious motto was integrated into the reverse field. The obverse side presents a powerful depiction of Lady Liberty, captured in a dynamic forward stride. On the reverse, a magnificent bald eagle is shown soaring through the air, framed by the inscriptions "United States of America" and the denomination "Twenty Dollars". Rather than a standard reeded edge, this coin features a raised edge inscription reading "E Pluribus Unum", with stars elegantly separating the words, making it a truly distinctive piece of numismatic artistry.
