NPF 2020 5-oz Silver Saint-Gaudens Winged Liberty Ultra High Relief Medal NGC Gem Proof Ultra Cameo

Saint-Gaudens’ Original Vision Takes Flight as a Silver Proof!

While the U.S. Mint’s famous Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle has gone down in history as one of the world’s most beautiful coins, few people know that it was actually the second choice of its designer, famed American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Tasked by President Teddy Roosevelt with revamping America’s coinage, Saint-Gaudens originally intended for his $20 gold piece to feature Lady Liberty wearing a feathered headdress and sporting a full pair of wings. And instead of a Bald Eagle in flight as it appeared on the final version, Saint-Gaudens’ original preferred reverse design of a proud Bald Eagle was ultimately used on the $10 gold coins.

Unfortunately, the minting technology in 1907 when the coin was first struck wasn’t up to the challenge. Today’s minting technology has no such issues, however, and thanks to a partnership with the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and the National Park Foundation, you can now get Saint-Gaudens’ masterpiece as he originally intended it to look on this incredible 2020 Winged Liberty Proof struck for the very first time in silver!

Design Based on Saint Gaudens’ Original Model

Based on the original model displayed in the permanent collection of the Saint-Gaudens Historic Site in Cornish, New Hampshire, this silver proof features the design as meticulously restored by former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver at the U.S. Mint. Minted in five ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this special release was struck in ultra-high relief (UHR) using Smartminting© technology to create a stunning work of art that allows you to see every design detail Augustus Saint-Gaudens envisioned for his Double Eagle.
