The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is frequently regarded as one of the most distinguished coins produced by the United States Mint. Containing nearly an ounce of .900 fine gold, it has been appreciated for its design and craftsmanship for more than a century. Commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt and designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, it remains a cornerstone of pre-33 gold coinage. This 1914 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle comes from the San Francisco Mint and boasts a Mint State 63 certification from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Today, 1914-S Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coins in certified condition are available from JM Bullion.

The 1914-S was struck at San Francisco with a mintage of 1,498,000 coins during a year overshadowed by the outbreak of World War One, a global cataclysm that would ultimately reshape international monetary systems and accelerate the end of the gold standard era that Double Eagles so magnificently represented. San Francisco examples are well struck and available in circulated grades, offering collectors a historically resonant piece at accessible price points. 

All 1914-S Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle coins available here come in MS63 condition. Coins with this grade have rather attractive eye appeal, despite the slight impairment of the mint luster. Numerous small contact marks and a few scattered, heavier marks are possible. Small hairlines, if present, will be visible without magnification.

The obverse design of 1914-S $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles features Liberty striding forward, holding a torch and olive branch, with the Capitol building and rays of sunlight behind her. This artistic composition stands out for its classical influence. These coins include 48 stars, an adjustment made in 1912 to reflect the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to the Union.

On the reverse of 1914-S Pre-33 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagles, the design shows an American eagle flying above a rising sun. This depiction introduced a more realistic and energetic image compared to earlier designs.
