Additional Description: The 1924 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is a gold coin of both artistic and historical distinction. Struck in Philadelphia during a period of economic confidence, it carries the celebrated design of Augustus Saint-Gaudens—Liberty striding forward, torch in hand, framed by radiating sunbeams. Commissioned under Theodore Roosevelt’s initiative to elevate American coinage, the design marked a departure from utilitarian forms toward neoclassical grandeur.
