At the turn of the 20th century, President Theodore Roosevelt made the decision to beautify American coinage. He hired Augustus St. Gaudens to overhaul the designs and the beautiful Double Eagle was one of the results. It is considered one of the best designs of its denomination ($20) and one of the most beautiful coins ever minted. The obverse features Lady Liberty holding an olive branch and the Torch of Freedom, while the reverse features a bald eagle flying over the sun. In 2002, one of the last remaining 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles sold at Sotheby’s New York for $7,590,020, making the it the most valuable coin in the world.

This coin was graded Mint State 65.
