The New York Times ran an article this week entitled “Century Later, Gold Coin Reflects Sculptor’s Vision.
On Monday, the U.S. Mint released a new edition of the Double Eagle gold coins.
The $20 gold coins have been produced for over a century, with the first coin being converted in 1907. The new coin is based on the first 1907 coin that was designed by an American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Saint-Gaudens was a friend of Teddy Roosevelt and was commissioned to design the coin.
The original Double Eagle coin design has a picture representing Liberty on the obverse with her torch raised and flowing hair with the Capitol dome behind her. The reverse of the coin shows an eagle flying into the sun. In 1908, Congress mandated that “In God We Trust” be added to the coins.
The coins are formed from 60 tons of pressure converting blank gold discs into “ultra-high-relief” coins at the U.S. Mint. The 1907 coins are highly rare and valuable. The Double Eagle is considered the most beautiful of the American coinage.
The new coins contain one ounce of 24-karat gold. They will be sold for only one year.

Turning Cash to Gold, Gold to Green
Fox 4 News in Kansas City aired a piece last week that is among many pieces in media attention. The focus? Turning cash to gold.
Entitled “Turn Gold to Green”, reporter Kim Byrnes interviewed customers interested in getting cash for their gold. Money for the holidays and a mother planning for her son’s wedding were cited as reasons for those parting with their old gold and broken jewelry.
A woman that was shooting for $100 for her jewelry, ended up scoring $153. Click here to watch the story.
Those selling their gold jewelry should be acquainted with the quality of their gold before making assumptions of payment. 10 karat gold is only 42% gold; 14 karat gold is 58% gold; and 18 karat gold is 75% gold.
There has been a significant upturn in those selling their gold as consumers are being far more careful about their spending.
