About This Series
President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign American coinage, and the $20 double eagle he produced is widely considered the most beautiful coin the US Mint ever made. The 1907 high-relief version required five or more strikes to bring up the design and proved impractical for mass production; the lower-relief version that followed is what most collectors know. The 1933 date is the most dramatic in American numismatics: nearly half a million were struck, then ordered melted as FDR ended the gold standard. One legal example sold at auction in 2002 for over $7 million.

Mintage by year and mint
“Low mintage” marks a year at or below 10% of the median business-strike mintage for its own denomination; “Scarce for the series” marks one above 10% and at or below 25%. The median here is 796,000. That is a statement about how many were struck, not about how many survive or what collectors pay.
Low mintage years in this series: 1913 San Francisco (34,000).

| Mintages as published by NGC Coin Explorer, 2026-03 snapshot. Covers 1907–1932. NGC Coin Explorer does not list every date and mint, so this is what it publishes rather than a complete census. A further 5 listings it does publish are omitted here because NGC Coin Explorer records no single striking mint for them. | ||||
