      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: The 1908-D $20 double eagle is among the first of the branch-mint Saints to carry IN GOD WE TRUST, added to the reverse of the coin in 1908 to appease a public that had become increasingly irritated by the motto's absence on the new coin. While the 1908-D is relatively common in circulated and lower uncirculated grades, it is scarce in Choice Uncirculated and rare in the Gem levels.
