Additional Description: The 1907 No Motto Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle holds a singular place in American numismatics—not merely as the inaugural issue of the most celebrated gold coin design in U.S. history, but as a reflection of the artistic and political ideals of its time. Conceived by Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the personal request of President Theodore Roosevelt, the coin was intended to elevate the aesthetics of American currency to classical standards. The “No Motto” variety, struck before the addition of “In God We Trust,” embodies Roosevelt’s original vision: a clean, neoclassical design free from religious inscription, in line with his belief that invoking the divine on money was inappropriate.
