The $20 Saint Gaudens Gold coin, designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was issued by the United States Mint from 1907 to 1933. The coin features a majestic depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse. The 1933 issue, struck in Philadelphia, is particularly notable as it was never officially released for circulation due to the gold confiscation during the Great Depression. As a result, it is one of the most sought-after and valuable coins in American numismatic history, with only a few examples known to exist, making it a significant piece for collectors.
