Entry Details
PCGS Number: 9141 Coin Date: 1907 Denomination (Short): $20 Denomination (Long): $20 Gold Variety: Saint Gaudens Variety 2: No Motto Desg: MS Composition: 90% gold; 10% copper Mintage: 361,667 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Twenty Dollar Gold Double Eagle Coinage Years: 1907-1908 Mint Location: Philadelphia Diameter: 34 Fineness: 0.9 Weight (Grams): 33.436 Weight (Ounces): 1.075 Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: Liberty is portrayed standing on a rock, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The word LIBERTY appears on the top periphery surrounded by stars. The date is stamped on the right side of the coin, just above the rock. Reverse Description: A crescent sun appears at the bottom as if rising on the horizon with long rays extending to the top of the coin. A flying eagle covers the central portion, atop the rays. The words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS appear on the top periphery. General Notes: While the 1907 Saint-Gaudens with the flatter design may not be nearly as scarce as its high-relief cousins, but it is nevertheless a very popular coin as a first-year type. And, thankfully for those who wish to buy examples of the 1907 Saints today, these pieces were saved in huge numbers from the get-go. Examples grading lower than MS65 are quite common and readily available in the marketplace, with circulated examples roughly tied to the prevailing spot price. Gems are somewhat scarcer, but they are available for a price. PCGS #: 9141 NGC ID: 26F5
