The $20 Gold Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of the most celebrated coins in American numismatic history, and it remains a widely recognized vehicle for owning gold in a historically significant form. Struck at various United States Mint facilities, each coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of gold at a purity of .900 fine, making it a substantial holding of the metal in a single piece. These coins carry legal tender status as original issues of the United States government, though they have not circulated as currency for nearly a century.
The specimens we offer in this listing are ungraded examples described as cleaned or low grade. These are honest, accessible entry points into the Saint-Gaudens series, priced accordingly for buyers who prioritize the gold content over numismatic condition. No third-party grading service has been involved in certifying these pieces, and buyers should approach them as bullion-oriented purchases rather than collectibles.

The specimens we offer in this listing are ungraded examples described as cleaned or low grade.

No third-party grading service has been involved in certifying these pieces, and buyers should approach them as bullion-oriented purchases rather than collectibles.
President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign American coinage in 1905, driven by a belief that United States coins had fallen far behind the artistic standards of ancient and European issues. The resulting Double Eagle design, first struck in 1907, is widely considered the pinnacle of American coin artistry. Saint-Gaudens died before the coin entered full production, but his design was carried forward by the Mint's engravers and remained in use through 1933.
Production occurred across multiple Mint facilities, including Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, with mintmarks reflecting those locations. The series spans several major design subtypes, including high-relief and ultra-high-relief experimental strikes, the wire-rim and flat-rim varieties of 1907, and the more common formats produced from 1908 onward. Congress mandated the removal of the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" briefly in 1907, though it was restored by 1908 following public pressure.
The coin's legal production ended in 1933 following Executive Order 6102, which prohibited private ownership of gold. Most 1933 Double Eagles were melted, making surviving examples from that year extraordinarily rare. Pre-1933 Double Eagles from other dates entered private hands legally following the 1974 reversal of gold ownership restrictions and have traded actively in both numismatic and bullion markets ever since.
The obverse features a full-length figure of Liberty striding forward, her right arm raised and holding a torch, her left arm extended with an olive branch. The Capitol building appears in the background to the lower left, and the word "LIBERTY" arcs across the top field. The figure radiates a sense of classical dynamism that set the design apart from the more static portraits common to American coinage at the time.
The reverse displays a bold American bald eagle in mid-flight, wings spread against a sunburst background. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "TWENTY DOLLARS" frame the design, along with the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The date appears on the obverse, and for most years the mintmark, if present, can be found on the reverse above the date or on the obverse depending on the specific year of issue.
Cleaned or low-grade examples retain the full design composition, though surface details may show wear consistent with circulation or post-mint cleaning. The overall layout and imagery remain identifiable and intact even on heavily worn or cleaned specimens, which contributes to the coin's continued recognizability in the secondary market.
Every Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle we handle is verified for authenticity, weight, and metal content before it reaches a customer. Original United States Mint production held these coins to a gold fineness of .900, which translates to 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold per coin. This standard was consistent across decades of production and across all Mint facilities involved.
We maintain authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC, and our broader sourcing practices draw from the established numismatic and bullion dealer networks where these coins have traded for decades. While the pieces in this listing are not independently certified, their origins as official United States Mint products provide a baseline of structural authentication that distinguishes them from privately produced counterparts. Buyers should be aware that counterfeits of pre-1933 gold coins do exist, and we apply careful review to the material we offer.
Coins in this listing are described as cleaned or low grade, which is an honest characterization of their market position. "Cleaned" typically refers to pieces that show evidence of past polishing, dipping, or other surface treatments that reduce their appeal to numismatists. "Low grade" refers to coins showing significant wear consistent with heavy circulation, often grading VF or lower on the standard Sheldon scale. Neither condition affects the underlying gold content, and both represent legitimate value for buyers focused on the metal rather than numismatic premium.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to prevent further handling marks during transit. Larger quantity purchases ship in tubes consistent with standard coin handling practices, and bulk orders ship in sealed boxes as appropriate for the quantity. Year selection is random within the overall series run, and no guarantees are made regarding specific dates, mintmarks, or design subtypes. Buyers seeking a particular date or variety should consult our graded or attributed coin listings instead.
Pricing for these coins is anchored to the current spot price of gold, adjusted for the coin's specific gold content of 0.9675 troy ounces. The premium above spot for cleaned or low-grade examples is typically lower than for problem-free circulated coins, reflecting their reduced appeal to collectors and their positioning as near-bullion material. That spread narrows even further when gold demand is elevated and available supply tightens across the pre-1933 market.
Because these are historical coins rather than newly minted bullion, their premiums do not follow the same patterns as modern sovereign issues. Supply is finite and tied entirely to what exists in the secondary market, which means availability and pricing can shift meaningfully based on collector and dealer activity rather than mint production cycles. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to be straightforward and transparent rather than opaque or layered with undisclosed fees.
The $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of the most liquid pre-1933 gold coin types in the United States market. Bullion dealers, coin dealers, and numismatic auction houses all maintain active demand for the series, and even cleaned or low-grade examples trade regularly because of their recognized gold content. The coin's deep history and near-universal familiarity among precious metals buyers supports consistent market interest across a range of conditions.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Understanding the buyback side of a transaction before committing to a purchase is a practice we actively encourage, because liquidity is best evaluated before a position is established, not when it is time to exit. Our competitive buyback pricing reflects current wholesale market conditions and is applied consistently across the product types we carry.
For buyers who want meaningful gold content in a historically significant American coin, the cleaned or low-grade Double Eagle offers a more accessible price point than problem-free examples while delivering the same 0.9675 troy ounces of gold. The series carries instant recognition among dealers and collectors alike, which supports resale regardless of individual coin grade. The finite supply of pre-1933 gold coins as a category also distinguishes these pieces structurally from modern bullion, which can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Buyers who are less concerned with numismatic condition and more focused on acquiring gold at a reasonable premium above spot will find these coins a practical choice. The random-year format makes this listing well-suited to buyers accumulating gold over time rather than building a complete date set. The underlying metal content is consistent across all years, so the grade and date variation carries no impact on the actual gold received.
We have built our reputation on transparent pricing, honest product descriptions, and a straightforward buying and selling experience. Cleaned and low-grade coins are accurately described as such, and we do not obscure condition details to inflate perceived value. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a long-term commitment to operating with integrity in a market where trust is earned gradually and lost quickly.
Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC extend our ability to work across both raw and certified coin inventory with a consistent standard of care. We verify every product for authenticity and metal content before it ships, and our customer service team is equipped to answer specific questions about condition, sourcing, and the broader pre-1933 gold market. Every aspect of the transaction, from pricing to fulfillment to post-purchase support, is designed to support long-term confidence rather than a single-transaction mindset.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of precious metals products, including pre-1933 gold coins. For a product like the cleaned or low-grade Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, where premiums above spot reflect both condition and secondary market supply dynamics, having real-time visibility into wholesale pricing levels provides a meaningful informational advantage. Members can also view their holdings valued at current wholesale bid prices rather than estimated retail figures, which gives a more accurate picture of current liquidation value.
Beyond pricing, Pro includes proprietary research tools that allow members to compare products across premiums, bid/ask spreads, historical premium trends, and liquidity metrics. For buyers navigating the pre-1933 gold market, where pricing nuance matters more than in standardized modern bullion, access to objective market data helps frame decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
We support a wide range of payment methods to ensure a smooth and secure transaction for every buyer. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is supported through a secure checkout process designed to protect sensitive financial information at every stage.
Pricing may vary slightly by payment method, as is standard practice in the precious metals industry, and full details are displayed transparently at checkout before any purchase is finalized. Our goal is to make the mechanics of buying and selling as simple and frictionless as possible so that buyers can focus on the product rather than the process.
