      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 9147
      Coin Date: 1908
      Denomination (Short): $20
      Denomination (Long): Twenty dollar gold double eagle
      Variety: Motto
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: P
      Composition: 90% gold; 10% copper
      Mintage: 156,258
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Saint Gaudens gold double eagle
      Coinage Years: 1908-1933
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 34
      Fineness: 0.9
      Weight (Grams): 33.436
      Weight (Ounces): 0.9675
      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: By the second year of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle's production, the public was expressing bother over the absence of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the new $20 coin. Thus, the decision was made to add the national motto on the coin just above the sun disk emerging from the bottom of the reverse. The 1908 With motto Saint-Gaudens double eagle is common enough as an issue, though nice uncirculated examples prove quite scarce, with many devoid of exceptional luster. Gems are truly rare, commanding strong premiums particularly when two or more registry set collectors are vying for the same piece.
