The Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle stands as one of the most celebrated and actively collected United States gold coins in the modern numismatic market. Struck from 1907 through 1933, these coins have attracted generations of collectors and investors drawn to their combination of artistic beauty, historical significance, and intrinsic gold value. Their broad date range, varied mint marks, and range of surviving grades give collectors a richly textured series to pursue, from common circulated examples to rare high-grade specimens certified by leading grading services such as PCGS and NGC. This 1913-S Double Eagle features a Mint State 64 grade from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and is authenticated by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). Today, the 1913-S Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coin is available from JM Bullion.

The 1913-S Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle, produced at the San Francisco Mint, is a moderately scarce issue within the series and is especially prized by collectors assembling complete date-and-mintmark sets. With a mintage of 34,000 coins, it is far from the rarest issue in the series, yet survivors in premium uncirculated condition are notably elusive. A certified Mint State example of the 1913-S represents a desirable acquisition for the advanced collector, offering both historical resonance and genuine scarcity in the upper grade ranges.

This 1913-S Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle is an MS64 specimen with authentication from the CAC. The 1913-S is often coveted more for its historical resonance than its overall condition, though this piece does present crisp details and a satiny texture. The CAC authentication offers confidence that this coin is a top-tier representative of an MS64 specimen. 

On the obverse of the 1913-S Pre-33 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Coin, you will find a design that is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of coin artistry in American history, designed by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the personal request of President Theodore Roosevelt. It features a bold, striding figure of Liberty in high relief, her right hand raised and carrying a torch, her left arm outstretched holding an olive branch. She steps forward against a backdrop of the United States Capitol building, with the sun’s rays radiating dramatically behind her.

The reverse of the 1913-S $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle presents a majestic American bald eagle in full flight, soaring across the face of the coin with wings spread wide against a field of sunburst rays. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWENTY DOLLARS frame the design, while the motto IN GOD WE TRUST was restored by an act of Congress in 1908 and appears on most coins in the series.
