Interesting fact
The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, is considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in the United States. It features a stunning design of Lady Liberty striding forward with the sun behind her, and was minted from 1907 to 1908. The coin was made of 90% gold and 10% copper, and weighed 33.436 grams. It was also known for its high relief design, which gave it a unique 3D appearance. Despite its beauty, the coin was not widely popular during its time due to its large size and high value, and was eventually replaced by smaller coins. Today, however, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
