United States Mint Will Recreate Saint-Gaudens Coins
United States Mint Director Ed Moy announced plans to bring back Saint-Gaudens' original ultra-high relief Liberty $20 Gold Piece. (An excellent photo of the front and back of such a coin may be seen in the recent Heritage Auction press release, Proof Gold Stars at Heritage’s $10 Million Phoenix ANA Signature Auction.)
The Saint-Gaudens' designed coins are thought by many to be the most beautiful ever minted in the U.S. The collector coin will be made in 24-karat gold and launched in 2009.
"We want to spur the highest level of artistic excellence in American coin design," said Director Moy. "Recreating thousands of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' ultra-high relief Double Eagles will be a defining moment in American coinage."
