1907 $20 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle PCGS MS63 First Year Of Issue PQ+
The Rough Rider hoard was found in Europe and contained 1907 and 1908 No Motto Saints. Teddy Roosevelt hired Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the United States coinage because he deemed the designs "atrocious".
After public outcry, "In God We Trust" was added. The denomination was created as a means of exhausting an overage in gold supply due to the 1849 California Gold Rush. They were never intended for general use in commerce as the amount easily equated to a month's wage during the time of issue - making them impractical to carry as a coin. This is the 1st year of issue for this beautiful design. Special edition Rough Rider hoard pedigree label by PCGS.
Certified by PCGS and Conservatively graded by todays standards this coin is much nicer than the normal MS63. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
Obverse: Depicts Liberty striding forward holding a torch and an olive branch with the U. Capitol building in the backdrop. Reverse: Features an eagle in flight against the sun in the background.
