1927 Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle

The beautiful 1927 $20 gold piece was designed by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and struck at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. This large, hefty $20 coin was struck in 90% fine gold, and is from an earlier era in America when precious metal coinage played an important role in American commerce – backing Gold Certificate paper currency. The 1927 $20 gold piece was struck the year that Charles Lindbergh flew solo from New York to Paris.
