Pre-1933 Gold
The U.S. Mint issued its first Gold coins in 1795. During the height of the Great Depression in 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt prohibited American citizens from holding monetary Gold. He ordered all Gold coins be returned to the U.S. Treasury, where millions were melted into Gold and then cast into Gold bars. This was an unprecedented legislative act to help fight the Great Depression. By doing so, many collectible Gold coins were affected and the course of history for monetary Gold was changed forever.

These federal government recalls and meltdowns made these previously common Gold coins very rare. Today, the surviving pre-1933 Gold U.S. coins are fixed at an extremely limited supply. This fact has made pre-1933 Gold coins some of the most desirable items among collectors and investors. APMEX is proud to offer a superb selection of these harder-to-find classic coins. The historical significance of these coins are vitally important and will provide diversity and significance to any investment or collection.

$20 Gold Coin Design
Several changes were made to the $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle design during the years the series was in production. The coins issued from 1907-1908 do not include the motto "In God We Trust," which wasn't added until later. In 1912, the number of stars surrounding Lady Liberty on the obverse changed from 46 to 48 when New Mexico and Arizona became states.

The history of Gold Double Eagle coins

The Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle is named after the designer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of the most highly regarded sculptors in U.S. history. This designer of these Gold Double Eagle coins was commissioned by the U.S. Mint, at the request of Theodore Roosevelt, to redesign U.S. coinage. This collectible Gold Eagle is said to feature the most beautiful artwork of any U.S. coin. These U.S. Mint Gold coins were at first created as high relief coins, meaning the images on the Gold coin were raised higher than the outer edge of the coin, but the mint insisted on a low-relief version, as these coins would not stack properly and it often took up to 11 strikes to render the details of the design.
