  
Saint-Gaudens gold coins were issued by the U.S. Mint from 1907 to 1933. With beautiful designs and content of nearly one ounce of gold, they remain the most popular of all historic U.S. gold coins to this day.
• Genuine Legal Tender Gold - As is appropriate to a gold coin of this importance, each one was minted in .9675 troy ounces of pure gold and is official legal tender from the U.S. Mint. Each coin is guaranteed authentic and certified MS-63 by PCGS or NGC.
• Limited Mintages - The $20 Saint-Gaudens coins were struck in strictly limited quantities from 1907 through 1933. Shortly thereafter, gold coins in the country were recalled to the U.S. Treasury where millions were melted down into gold bars and lost forever.
• Highly Prized in Mint Condition - Today, Saint-Gaudens gold coins are in high demand from rare coin collectors and gold investors. Only a small fraction of the original mintage of Saint-Gaudens gold coins survive today. Still fewer are available in pristine mint condition. Every Saint in this offer has been hand-picked for great eye appeal.
The creation of these fine works of art began at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1906, master-sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens was commissioned to create a new series of U.S. coins with designs like those on ancient Greek coinage, which included fine details and high relief.
Then, during the Great Depression, Congress made it illegal for U.S. citizens to own gold. As a result, The Gold Confiscation Act of 1933 required millions of U.S. gold coins to be recalled to the U.S. Treasury, melted down into gold bars, and destroyed forever.
Since then, each Pre-1933 U.S. gold coin has become a collector piece, and they are highly admired when preserved in original mint condition. Today, the Saint-Gaudens $20 gold coins are in demand by savvy coin collectors.
Coins grading MS-63 and higher are suitable investments for taking advantage of both rising gold prices and increasing demand/short supply scenarios in the Rare Coin Market.
