Without a shadow of a doubt, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle reigns supreme among the illustrious lineage of American coins. With its advent in 1907, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, heeding the call of President Theodore Roosevelt, summoned his artistic genius to fashion unprecedented obverse and reverse designs. As a result, the coin emerged as a symbol of excellence, forever etched into the annals of numismatic history.

History

The 1908 release of Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagles is unique for its split issue of reverse designs. Coins struck early in the year lack the national motto on the reverse, while those struck later in the year feature the words IN GOD WE TRUST in an arch along the edge of the sun between the sun and its extending rays.
