Description
The 1907 Proof St. Gaudens Double Eagle - Extremely High Relief Inverted Edge Letters is a proof Gold Double Eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. With a mintage of only 2, this is an extremely rare issue. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design, while the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. Designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9132. The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is widely considered the most beautiful coin ever produced by the U.S. The 1933 Double Eagle is the world's most valuable coin, with a specimen selling for $18.9 million in 2021. The 1907 Ultra High Relief, 1908 "No Motto," and various mintmarked issues are avidly collected.
