1908 Pre-33 $20 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coin “No Motto” NGC MS63
Product Description
The $20 Gold Double Eagle is one of the most celebrated coins in American history. Introduced by the United States Mint in 1907, it features a groundbreaking design of Lady Liberty that transformed American coinage.

Right now, 1908 Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coins are available in certified condition from BGASC.

Each of these 1908 Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coins comes in Mint State 63 condition. Coins in this grade display some small marks and minor hairlines, with mint luster that remains mostly intact despite slight impairments.
Obverse
On the obverse, Lady Liberty is surrounded by 46 stars, representing the states in the Union in 1908. The U.S. Capitol Building can be seen in the background at the bottom of the design, adding a patriotic touch to the composition.
Reverse
The reverse showcases a bald eagle in flight, captured in left-profile relief as it soars above the rays of a rising sun. These “No Motto” specimens lack the inscription “IN GOD WE TRUST,” which was added to the series later in 1908.
History
The obverse of the coin features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic design of Lady Liberty. Depicted striding forward with purpose, Liberty holds a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, representing enlightenment and peace. The rays of the sun radiate behind her figure, creating a dynamic and captivating image.
