- 1909/8 $20 MS63 NGC. FS-301. This Guide Book variety is widely popular as the only overdate variety in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, and it has become surprisingly affordable in lower grades since numerous examples turned up in overseas holdings. Researchers estimate that as much as half of the original mintage of 1909 double eagles (up to 80,000 coins) was produced with the overdated die, but its moderate availability fails to stifle demand. By 1909, the entire four-digit date was incorporated into the master die, meaning that this overdate was likely created when an old 1908 obverse was re-hubbed with a 1909 master die, causing the remarkably neat and uniform overdate as it appears on the coin. This example exhibits vibrant lemon-gold luster and sharply struck devices. The surfaces are only minimally abraded for the grade, with no readily obvious marks. NGC has encapsulated only 47 numerically finer representatives (8/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $5875.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1908-S $20 AU58+ NGC. CAC. Aside from the early High Relief type, the 1908-S is the first truly low-mintage issue in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. Only 22,000 pieces were struck (a significant drop from the more than 2.1 million Liberty Head double eagles minted the year before), and most were apparently dispersed into circulation, as most extant pieces show signs of light to moderate wear. Mint State examples become increasingly scarce the further one advances the grade scale. This Plus-graded near-Mint representative displays sharp motifs and unusually clean surfaces for the grade. Satiny honey-gold luster blankets each side, while thin olive and amber-red overtones are seen around the obverse periphery. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9400.00.

- 1908-D $20 Motto MS64 NGC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. According to the wishes of Roosevelt, who felt it was immoral to have God's name displayed on a coin, Saint-Gaudens' double eagle designs were originally produced without the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Its absence was quickly noticed by congress, which hastily passed a law requiring the motto's presence on all United States coinage. Chief Engraver Charles Barber added the motto partway through 1908. The Denver Mint produced significantly more examples of the earlier No Motto variant than of the With Motto type (663,750 coins versus less than 350,000 coins), but the latter remains slightly more plentiful in high grades. This Choice, minimally abraded example shows rich apricot-gold luster and sharp motifs. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $75.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2350.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS65 NGC. Saint-Gaudens' High Relief double eagles were met with much press coverage at the time of their public release in December 1907, and the coins soon began trading in the numismatic market for a 10 to 20 percent premium over face value. Bankers were well-aware of this demand, and readily sold the coins at an unofficial premium, per Bowers. As a result, numerous examples survive in Mint State grades, but demand has only grown with time. Most High Relief double eagles were coined with a "fin" of metal around the rim, caused by planchet metal being forced up between the collar and the die face during the successive blows from the dies. This was viewed as a flaw by the Mint, and measures were taken to decrease this characteristic. As a result, a small portion of the surviving population exhibits no sign of the usual "fin," and these Flat Rim coins typically draw slightly more attention than their Wire Rim counterparts. This Gem example showcases rich orange-gold luster over satiny, nearly unabraded surfaces. As would be expected for a coin that was struck at least three times, the design elements are boldly defined. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $38187.50.

- 1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS63 NGC. CAC. Commissioned by President Roosevelt in 1907, famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens prepared new designs for the double eagle, fashioning his models after the sculptural relief and beauty of ancient Greek coinage. The obverse portrayed a figure of Liberty striding forward in a flowing gown, derived from the female Nike on his 1903 Sherman Victory Monument. That figure was modeled after Harriet "Hettie" Anderson, one of Saint-Gaudens' favorite models. The new designs required a minimum of three blows from the dies to fully bring up the details, according the research of numismatic author Roger Burdette, which resulted in much-decreased production efficiency. As a result, Chief Engraver Charles Barber lowered the relief of the designs after only 12,367 pieces were struck. The early High Relief type is now considered by many to be the epitome of U.S. coinage perfection and artistic excellence. The piece here offered beautifully showcases Saint-Gaudens' majestic designs, with virtually no significant surface flaws to dampen the visual appeal. Rich peach-gold luster envelops each side in satiny radiance. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $25850.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
