Description and History

The eagle was one of the classic denominations of U.S. coinage, created in the Coinage Act of 1792. Its subsidiary denominations the quarter and half eagle were commonly coined from the beginning of U.S. coinage through the early 20th century. The double eagle was struck from the 1850s through the early 20th century.

The Saint-Gaudens double eagle is often considered the most beautiful U.S. coin. It was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, a famous sculptor who had previously worked with the Mint but had run into conflicts and had refused coin commissions. Theodore Roosevelt’s friendship with Saint-Gaudens and ascent to the Presidency allowed Roosevelt to persuade him to take another stab at coin design, and the resulting double eagle ran from 1907 to 1933.
