Grade – Mint State 62 (MS62):
Coins graded MS62 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) are in uncirculated condition with noticeable marks or abrasions. Despite these imperfections, they retain full mint luster and are considered desirable by collectors and investors.
Collecting Considerations:
-
Historical Significance: The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents a pinnacle of U.S. coinage artistry and was part of President Theodore Roosevelt’s initiative to beautify American currency.
-
Design Variations: Early issues (1907–1908) lack the “IN GOD WE TRUST” motto, while later versions include it.
-
Authentication: Ensure the coin is certified by reputable grading services like PCGS or NGC to verify authenticity and condition.
Acquiring a $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle in MS62 condition offers both historical significance and tangible value, making it a prized addition to any collection or investment portfolio.
The coins issued from 1907-1908 do not include the motto “In God We Trust,” which was not added until later. In 1912, the number of stars surrounding Lady Liberty on the obverse changed from 46 to 48 when New Mexico and Arizona became states.
