2024 NPF 1-oz Silver Saint-Gaudens Winged Liberty High Relief Medal NGC SP70

Saint-Gaudens’ Original Vision Takes Flight As Silver Commemorative

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 2024 Winged Liberty medal struck in gleaming 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 a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this special release was struck in enhanced High Relief (HR) 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.

Unique Roman Finish Connects This Commemorative With Its Early 20th Century Roots

Though not legal tender, this piece is officially licensed by the National Park Foundation (NPF). Plus, each medal available in this offer comes in a unique matte-like specimen finish that’s similar to the finishes used in the era from which this commemorative was born. Known as a “Roman” finish, it’s an experimental finish used by the U.S. Mint in the early 20th century that resulted in a luster that’s a hybrid of standard proof and matte proof surfaces. Described as “polished frosted,” the finish was too difficult to apply and soon fell out of use. Here it creates a lovely effect that connects the piece with its origins rooted in the Roaring ’20s. In fact, the finish is so exquisite on these medals that the ones in this offer have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Specimen-70 (SP70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded commemoratives have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
