Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin holds a unique place in U.S. coinage history. Designed by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the coin features the iconic image of Lady Liberty holding a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing peace and enlightenment.

The reverse depicts a majestic eagle in flight, symbolizing freedom. What makes the 1927-D particularly special is its rarity and the historical context surrounding its production.

Only around 1.5 million coins were minted, a relatively small number for such a prestigious coin, which has contributed to its high demand among collectors.

The coin's high gold content (90% gold and 10% copper) gives it a substantial weight and gleaming appearance, adding to its allure.

Due to its limited mintage, the 1927-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle is highly prized by collectors, with its value often reaching significant amounts depending on the coin's grade.
