A Glimpse into American History
The Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, minted from 1907 to 1933, is considered one of the most beautiful coins ever produced by the United States Mint. Designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, its creation was championed by President Theodore Roosevelt, who sought to elevate American coinage to rival that of ancient Greece. This 1908 example, notably without the "In God We Trust" motto (which was added later), offers a unique connection to the early years of this iconic design. The Wells Fargo Nevada association adds an intriguing layer of provenance, linking this coin to the rich history of the American West.
