Longacre, adorned these magnificent coins from their inception until 1907. The design’s impressive run concluded when President Theodore Roosevelt championed a refresh of American coinage, ushering in the renowned Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. Interestingly, the Double Eagle series underwent three distinct design iterations for both the Liberty and the Saint Gaudens Double Eagle throughout its production.
