1916-S $20 St Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS-63 PCGS
In 1916, the San Francisco Mint struck this magnificent twenty-dollar gold coin, representing a high point in American numismatic art. This piece belongs to the famous series created by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which was produced from 1907 to 1933. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse displays the iconic image of Lady Liberty, a design widely celebrated for its dynamic sense of movement and classical inspiration. The year 1916 is clearly visible on this side, marking its place in the final years of the pre-1933 gold era. On the reverse, a majestic bald eagle is depicted in mid-flight. This side also bears several traditional inscriptions, including the country of origin, United States of America, the denomination of Twenty Dollars, and the national motto, In God We Trust. This specific specimen has been preserved in remarkable condition, earning a graded designation of Mint State 63 (MS-63).
