1908-D $20 St Gaudens Gold w/Motto MS-63 PCGS
In 1908, the Denver Mint produced a remarkable twenty-dollar gold piece that remains a triumph of American numismatic art. This coin, composed of 0.9675 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.900, belongs to the celebrated series created by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which was minted from 1907 to 1933. The obverse presents a powerful image of Lady Liberty moving forward, holding a lit torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other to represent progress and peace. On the reverse, a bald eagle is captured mid-flight, soaring across the design. This specific variety includes the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the reverse, alongside the bold inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "TWENTY DOLLARS." This particular specimen has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63) condition, preserving the intricate details of the original engraving. It stands as a beautiful example of early twentieth-century coining artistry from the Denver facility, marked by the "D" mint mark.
