1924 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle | NGC MS63

The Pinnacle of American Gold Coin Design

The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is universally regarded as the most artistically significant gold coin the United States Mint ever produced. Commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt, sculpted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and struck from 1907 through 1933, the series stands as the high-water mark of American numismatic artistry. The 1924 Philadelphia issue is one of the most reliably well-struck dates in the entire Double Eagle series — minted in an era of uninterrupted confidence in American gold.

Certified MS63 by NGC

Graded MS63 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, this example occupies the grade range where a coin's full artistic character is preserved. The fields retain original mint luster beneath only light contact marks, the eagle's feathers and Liberty's striding figure remain fully detailed, and nothing has been altered, cleaned, or artificially enhanced. MS63 is the grade collectors seek when they want a genuine representative example — one that passes scrutiny at every level.

Pre-1933 Gold — A Category Unto Itself

Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins exist in a distinct category. Struck before the 1933 Gold Reserve Act removed American gold coinage from circulation, these pieces carry numismatic and historical premiums that operate independently of spot price. The 1924 Double Eagle contains 0.9675 troy ounces of .900 fine gold — the same alloy composition that served as the foundation of American monetary policy for over a century — held now in an NGC encapsulation that guarantees its authenticity and grade.
