The 1908 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, graded PCGS MS-65 with No Motto, stands as a transitional masterpiece in American numismatics. PCGS has graded 28,580 as MS65 with 6,475 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this issue at $4,500 in MS65. Save $360 off the CU price when you buy this coin.
Struck in the final months before the mandated addition of “In God We Trust,” this issue reflects President Theodore Roosevelt’s direct intervention to revive classical beauty in U.S. coinage. Augustus Saint-Gaudens, already weakened by illness, poured his final artistic energy into the high-relief design, but production realities forced a compromise—yet the 1908 No Motto retains exceptional sharpness and fluidity.
Liberty strides forward on the obverse, torch aloft and olive branch in hand, her gown rippling against a radiant sunburst. The Capitol dome anchors the background, subtly grounding the allegorical figure in American soil. The reverse presents a breathtaking eagle in mid-flight above a rising sun, wings spread wide, every feather articulated with sculptural precision. The absence of the motto allows the eagle’s form to dominate without textual interruption, creating a purer expression of Saint-Gaudens’ vision.
