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 down 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 is 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 the Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle

Only 12,367 high-relief Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle were struck in 1907, before the U.S. Mint insisted on a more practical low-relief version where the artwork was not higher than the edge of the coin. This particular highly collectible Gold Eagle can fetch $10,000 for circulated grades and almost a half million dollars for those in pristine condition. These Gold Eagle coins underwent a number of changes in the early years of the design, beyond the switch from high relief to low relief, including changing the Roman numeral date to Arabic numerals. These Gold coins did not include “In God We Trust” in the original design, but it was added in 1908.
