2025 St. Gaudens High-Relief Winged Liberty
- Commemorating the original Double Eagle design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens featuring a winged Lady Liberty. Due to changes at the minting challenges when the coin was being designed, this design never made it to the public
- Certified PERFECT Reverse PF70 “1st Day of Issue” by NGC with label hand-signed by John M. Mercanti
- Coin is 1oz of 99.9% Fine Silver
- Worldwide mintage of only 4999 coins.
The 2025 St. Gaudens High-Relief Winged Liberty commemorates one of the most celebrated unrealized designs in American numismatic history - Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original winged Liberty concept for the $20 gold piece. This 1oz .999 fine silver tribute brings to life the artist's magnificent vision that was modified due to technical minting challenges in 1907. Certified in perfect Reverse Proof PF70 First Day of Issue condition by NGC, each coin features a label hand-signed by John M. Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, adding exceptional provenance to this limited edition of only 4,999 pieces worldwide.
The design showcases Saint-Gaudens' full artistic intent with Liberty striding forward, her gown flowing as wings extend dramatically behind her - a powerful allegorical representation that had to be simplified for production in the original gold series. The reverse proof finish gives this modern interpretation a contemporary numismatic treatment, with frosted fields setting off the mirror-like devices. This commemorative serves both as an important historical restoration of a lost masterpiece and as a demonstration of how modern minting technology can now achieve what was impossible in Saint-Gaudens' era. The extremely limited mintage and Mercanti-signed certification make this a particularly significant issue for collectors of artistic coinage and students of American numismatic history.
