1912 $20 St Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS-62 PCGS CAC

---

In the early twentieth century, American numismatics underwent a dramatic transformation. The 1912 twenty-dollar gold piece stands as a brilliant representative of this era, often called the Renaissance of American Coinage, when coin designs were elevated to high art. The front of this sovereign gold coin displays a powerful depiction of Lady Liberty. She is shown walking forward, illuminated by the rays of a rising sun, holding a torch to light her way and an olive branch as a symbol of peace. The reverse of the coin features a majestic bald eagle captured mid-flight, soaring across the sky. Struck in 0.900 fine gold with an actual gold weight of 0.9675 troy ounces, this United States legal tender issue is officially backed by the government. The reverse is inscribed with the issuing nation, United States of America, and the face value, Twenty Dollars. This specific specimen has been certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62) condition with additional verification of its quality.
