Why add the 2017 United States Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle Indian Head Pattern High Relief 1oz Silver Proof Medal GEM Proof COA to your collection?
This 2017 Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle Indian Head Pattern Gem Proof Silver Medal was struck by Germany's Mayer Mint in stunning high relief. This example was struck in .999 fine silver on a 1 oz. planchet. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity. It is offered by MCM in conjunction with the National Park Foundation and the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. The mintage was limited to a low 10,000 units.
A Vision, Realized
At the time of the great coinage redesign, the artist-preferred design for the $20 Gold "Double Eagle" by Augustus Saint-Gaudens was the familiar "Indian Head" design featuring Liberty wearing a Native American Head Dress. A single pattern coin was struck by the Mint using the preferred design and today has not been seen publicly since the 1980s. This issue features a faithful re-sculpting of the original design by John Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. It features the high relief image of Liberty on the obverse and the classic Saint-Gaudens Flying Eagle reverse.
Gem Proof Excellence
Gem Proofs are high-quality examples that would grade at the Proof 65 grade of higher. This example features a National Park Foundation branded black velvet baggie and a Certificate of Authenticity.
