Each 1927 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coin comes graded as Mint State 66+ by the Professional Coin Grading Service. This high-grade coin shows excellent original luster and only a few light marks from handling, none of which appear in key visual areas. No hairlines are visible without magnification.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin shows Lady Liberty holding a torch and olive branch. She is shown standing tall in front-facing relief with rays of the sun behind her and the U.S. Capitol building near her feet. Stars surround the border of the design.

Reverse

The reverse shows the American bald eagle in mid-flight. Gliding from left to right, the bird is set against the rising sun, creating a graceful and balanced image.

History

In 1927, the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver Mints all produced Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles. San Francisco led in total coins struck. The Philadelphia Mint issued 2.946 million coins, though only about 178,000 remain today in Mint State. Of those, just around 365 have been graded MS66+ by PCGS.
