St Gaudens Gold Coins For Sale

One of the most popular gold coins for sale today is the $20 face value St Gaudens double eagle designed by Augustus St Gaudens back in 1907. The coin was minted from the years 1907 to 1933 and with its depiction of walking liberty on the obverse and an American bald eagle on the reverse, some consider this coin to be the most beautiful coin ever minted.

One of the more unique things about this coins is that it has the distinction of one issue being the most valuable coin in the world. Back in July of 2002 a 1933 gold double eagle went on the auction block and brought a record $7.6 million. The reason this one coin is so valuable is because it is the only copy of a 1933 double eagle that is allowed to be in circulation. It is truly a unique coin since there is no other copy of it that is legally saleable anywhere in the world.

While the St Gaudens gold coins are considered to be the most beautiful coins in existence unfortunately, Augustus was never able to see the two coins he designed for the United States be put into circulation. St Gaudens died in 1907 after being diagnosed with cancer in 1900.

St Gaudens also designed the $10 Eagle coin that was put into circulation during the same time the double eagle was, from 1907 through 1933. The eagle featured an Indian in beautiful feathered headdress on the obverse and a standing eagle on the reverse.
