Introducing the 1908 NO MOTTO Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle, a numismatic masterpiece that embodies the artistry and elegance of early 20th-century American coinage. Certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with a high-grade Mint State 66 (MS66), this coin offers an exceptional opportunity for both seasoned collectors and passionate amateurs to own a piece of history steeped in numismatic significance.
Struck in Philadelphia, these coins are renowned for their breathtaking design by the famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt himself to redesign the nation's gold coinage. The obverse features the magnificent depiction of Lady Liberty, draped in flowing robes and carrying a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace. On the reverse, an awe-inspiring bald eagle soars gracefully, set against the radiant rays of the sun.
The 1908 NO MOTTO version is particularly sought after by collectors due to its absence of the inscriptions "In God We Trust," which was added to subsequent issues. This decision by President Roosevelt was influenced by his belief that the phrase held too much religious significance for coinage. This distinct feature marks it as a unique chapter in numismatic history and enhances its desirability and rarity among collectors.
This coin exhibits a lustrous golden hue that enhances its stunning visual appeal and echoes its $20 face value. It represents not just currency but also an era of prosperity and progress in the United States.
