The $20 Gold Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of the most celebrated coins in American numismatic history, struck in .900 fine gold with a weight of 0.9675 troy ounces and a face value of twenty dollars. Produced at various United States Mint facilities, the coin carries legal tender status and stands as a product of federal coinage under the authority of the U.S. government. This listing represents a randomly selected year, graded MS61 by the Professional Coin Grading Service, and we offer it as part of our curated inventory of certified U.S. gold coinage.
As an MS61 coin, this Double Eagle falls within the Mint State range, confirming it has seen no circulation. It occupies the lower end of the uncirculated spectrum, which typically means some contact marks or minor abrasions are visible but the coin retains its original luster and surface detail throughout.

As an MS61 coin, this Double Eagle falls within the Mint State range, confirming it has seen no circulation. It occupies the lower end of the uncirculated spectrum, which typically means some contact marks or minor abrasions are visible but the coin retains its original luster and surface detail throughout.
The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle was first struck in 1907 following a commission by President Theodore Roosevelt, who believed American coinage should reflect a standard of artistic excellence comparable to ancient Greek coinage. He enlisted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the nation's gold coinage, and the result was widely regarded as the most beautiful coin ever produced by the United States Mint. The design replaced the earlier Liberty Head Double Eagle and remained in production through 1933.
Production spanned multiple mint facilities, including Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, each identified by a distinct mintmark. The series ran for nearly three decades, with several key dates, low-mintage issues, and transitional varieties that have made it a focal point of American numismatics. The 1933 issue was never released into circulation due to the suspension of the gold standard, making pre-1933 examples the definitive Saint-Gaudens coins available to collectors and buyers today.
The discontinuation of gold coinage in 1933 brought the series to a close, but it left behind a substantial body of surviving examples across a wide range of dates and grades. Certified MS61 examples represent coins that have survived in genuinely uncirculated condition, though they typically show the contact marks consistent with handling in mint bags before certification.
The obverse features a bold, striding figure of Liberty rendered in high relief, holding a torch aloft in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building visible in the background and rays of sunlight emanating from below. The design was Saint-Gaudens' attempt to capture motion and energy within the constraints of a struck coin, and the resulting composition remains unmatched in its sense of dynamism among American coinage. Inscriptions include "LIBERTY" along the top and the date at the base.
The reverse depicts a majestic American eagle in flight against a rising sun, a deliberate departure from the perched eagle designs that had defined U.S. coinage for generations. "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "TWENTY DOLLARS," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" appear as part of the surrounding legend. The overall composition balances bold imagery with refined lettering in a way that still holds up more than a century after the design was first introduced.
Every coin in this listing carries PCGS certification, which means it has been independently authenticated, graded, and encapsulated by one of the two most widely respected third-party grading services in the world. PCGS grading removes subjectivity from the condition assessment process and provides buyers with a standardized, verified grade they can rely on. We are an authorized dealer for PCGS, which reflects a formal relationship built on adherence to their dealer standards.
The .900 fine gold standard and 0.9675 troy ounce weight are consistent across all genuine Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles struck by the United States Mint, and PCGS certification confirms that each coin has been evaluated for authenticity as part of the grading process. The tamper-evident holder adds an additional layer of confidence for buyers purchasing from the secondary market.
MS61 is a Mint State grade, meaning the coin was never placed into circulation. At this grade level, PCGS has confirmed the coin retains its original luster and shows no wear to the high points, but visible contact marks and surface abrasions are expected and consistent with how uncirculated coins were handled in bulk at the mint before distribution. The grade is genuine, and the market recognizes it as such, but buyers should understand that MS61 is the entry point into the uncirculated range rather than a premium collector grade.
Each certified Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle ships in the original PCGS slab, which is a hard, tamper-evident plastic holder that protects the coin and displays both the grade and certification number. Because these are individually graded coins, they do not follow the tube or bulk packaging format typical of modern bullion. The PCGS holder is itself considered the appropriate packaging for certified numismatic coins and requires no additional protective sleeve for safe storage or handling.
Pricing for MS61 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles reflects both the current spot price of gold and the numismatic premium associated with the grade, certification, and historical significance of the series. The gold content of 0.9675 troy ounces establishes a floor tied directly to the live spot price, but the certified condition adds a layer of value that is determined by collector demand, grade population, and the broader numismatic market rather than metal content alone.
MS61 examples tend to command moderate premiums above melt value relative to higher grades within the series. Because population reports for PCGS-graded Saint-Gaudens coins are publicly available, buyers can assess how common or scarce a given grade is, which directly influences pricing. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured for clarity, displaying both the acquisition cost and the current buyback value so buyers understand the full picture before committing to a purchase.
The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of the most liquid pre-1933 U.S. gold coin types in the market. Its combination of high gold content, iconic design, and deep collector base creates consistent demand from both numismatic buyers and those focused primarily on the underlying metal. PCGS certification further streamlines the resale process by removing grade disputes and expanding the pool of buyers who will transact with confidence on the coin's assigned condition.
We operate within a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell certified gold coins within the same platform. Evaluating liquidity before a purchase is made, rather than only when it is time to sell, is a core part of how we structure the buying experience. The bid/ask spread displayed on this product page reflects current market conditions and gives buyers a transparent view of the relationship between acquisition cost and resale value.
Few coins combine gold content, historical weight, numismatic significance, and artistic merit as effectively as the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. As a pre-1933 U.S. gold coin struck by the United States Mint, it occupies a category that modern bullion products simply cannot replicate. The PCGS MS61 grade provides an authenticated, standardized condition assessment that removes ambiguity for buyers who want confirmed quality rather than an ungraded coin of uncertain surface preservation.
For buyers who want exposure to gold with the added dimension of American numismatic history, the MS61 Double Eagle offers a practical entry point into the certified coin market. The random year format means individual year selection is not guaranteed, but it also keeps acquisition cost lower than cherry-picking specific dates while still delivering a genuine certified example with all the protections PCGS certification provides.
As an authorized dealer for PCGS, we are positioned to offer certified coins with a level of accountability that matters when buying numismatic gold. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a long-term commitment to professional standards in this industry. Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, and we operate under the expectation that a customer's trust is earned through consistency, not marketing language.
Our transparent pricing model means you see the bid and ask spread directly on the product page. There are no hidden fees or complicated pricing structures designed to obscure the true cost of ownership. Whether you are adding a certified Double Eagle to an existing collection or making your first purchase of pre-1933 gold, our platform is built to give you the information you need to make a confident and well-informed decision. Responsive customer support is available before, during, and after your transaction, and our fulfillment process is designed to ensure every order arrives securely and on time.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, including on certified numismatic products like PCGS-graded Double Eagles. Rather than relying on estimated retail values, Pro members can view real-time wholesale pricing that reflects how the market is actually trading these coins at the institutional level. For a coin type where premiums fluctuate based on collector demand, grade population, and gold spot movement, having access to current wholesale pricing data is meaningfully more useful than a static price list.
Pro also includes proprietary research tools that allow members to evaluate this coin against comparable certified products using metrics such as historical premium trends, bid/ask spread analysis, and liquidity indicators. Because certified Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles are actively traded across the numismatic market, these tools can help members understand whether current premiums represent typical market conditions or a meaningful deviation. Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing, giving members a more realistic picture of liquidation value at any given moment rather than an inflated retail estimate.
We support a wide range of payment methods to accommodate different buyer preferences while keeping every transaction secure. Accepted forms of payment include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each method is integrated into a checkout process designed to minimize friction and protect sensitive financial information throughout the transaction.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card or the cost efficiency of a wire transfer, our payment infrastructure is built to handle orders of any size reliably. Buyers who fund larger purchases through wire transfer or bank-connected payment often benefit from reduced processing costs, and our team is available to walk through the options if you have questions about which method best fits your situation.
