He felt Augustus Saint-Gaudens was the most capable of the task. Even though Augustus Saint-Gaudens had a poor relationship with the Mint and its chief engraver, Charles E. Barber, Saint-Gaudens accepted the challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe work continued through considerable delays, due to Saint-Gaudenss declining health and difficulties with his high relief design. Sadly, Saint-Gaudens died in 1907, after completing his design of the gold eagle and gold double eagle, but before the designs went to production. He never saw his coins in circulation. The first years of production, 1907 and 1908 the coins lacked the words In God We Trust, (No Motto), and Congress intervened to require the mottos use, (Motto).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe coin was minted primarily for use in international trade until 1933.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop with confidence knowing when you buy from LCR Coin you are buying the best examples in the market and will always receive FREE Insured Shipping on all orders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAU – Almost Uncirculated Coins:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrade Explanation: AU graded coins have a small trace of wear visible on the highest points. These coins grade between 50 and 58, meaning that most of the original luster is still present, however there will be light points of wear at the highest parts of the design either through normal pocket wear or by stacking the coins together. All of the main - as well as most of the minor - design characteristics remain intact, and the coin displays an overall pleasing eye appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*The coin pictured is only a representation of the coin you will receive, not the exact coin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U.S. Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44007999209606,"sku":"2102","price":4594.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5312\/9094\/files\/20saintrandomdate__82127.1665916823.1280.1280.jpg?v=1779753929","url":"https:\/\/lcrcoin.com\/products\/random-date-1908-1932-saint-gaudens-with-motto-20-gold-double-eagle-au","provider":"LCR Coin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
