This $20 gold coin design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens
was introduced in 1907. The original design called for the coins
to be struck in high-relief and 11,250 were produced for general
circulation. After complaints from bankers about stacking problems
and to reduce minting costs, the relief was lowered later in
1907. The 1907 and early 1908 coins were produced without the
motto "In God We Trust". This motto was added to subsequent
issues beginning in 1908 resulting in two varieties of St. Gaudens
$20 gold coins, those with, or without, the motto. The St. Gaudens
$20 gold coin has long been considered to be one of the most
beautiful designs ever produced by the United States Mint.
This 1924 PCGS MS-63 $20 St. Gaudens gold
coin has a good strike with nice lustre and minimum contact marks.
A PQ coin for the grade.
