Description
The 1910 St. Gaudens Double Eagle - Experimental Finish is a special strike Gold Double Eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. With a mintage of 167, this is an extremely rare issue — the lowest mintage among 5 mint variants, representing only less than 1% of total production. 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 and the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. Produced during the Progressive Era, when President Theodore Roosevelt championed a renaissance in American coin design that produced some of the most beautiful coins ever struck. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Auction record: $840,000 SP66+ 01-16-2022 Heritage Auctions. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #680810.
