Description
Looking for an item you can invest in?
Considered by many collectors to be the most beautiful gold coin ever struck, and certainly the most popular of all U.S. coin designs, $20 Saint-Gaudens double-eagles are always in extremely high demand by collectors and investors alike.
Teddy Roosevelt himself commissioned this magnificent design from Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of the leading sculptors in America. The obverse features the image of Miss Liberty striving gloriously into the future. The reverse features the majestic Flying Eagle above the rising sun.
As the last gold piece struck by the U.S. government for regular issue, the $20 Saint-Gaudens will forever remain a symbol of the emerging greatness of the United States in the 20th Century, and deserves a prominent place in every coin collection.
Due to their large size, low price, limited numbers, and worldwide popularity, $20 Saint-Gaudens gold double-eagles are preferred by smart gold investors looking for extra leverage to the market. With true scarcity and collector value, they can appreciate in a rising gold market much faster than common coins or bullion. And unlike modern bullion coins, they offer complete financial privacy and exemption from possible government confiscation. (Item description taken from The Gold Coin Store)
This unique piece comes in a coin holder with collector box.
