Additional Description: The 1923 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle emerges from a period of relative economic calm, a time when the United States was flush with postwar prosperity and still anchored to the gold standard. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the coin features the enduring design of Augustus Saint-Gaudens—a bold Liberty striding forward, torch raised, framed by the rays of a rising sun. On the reverse, an eagle soars across a simplified sky, capturing both movement and grace in classical form.
