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. It is the only example known. PCGS judged its finish distinct from both the satin and the sandblast proofs of 1910 and gave it a number of its own; the coin surfaced as a new discovery in 2020. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her, 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. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.44 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #680810.
