Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Dates & Mintmarks
All 52 issues of the series, 1907 through 1933, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens at Theodore Roosevelt's instigation. Seven of them come from the first two years, because 1907 was struck in both High Relief and the lowered relief that became standard, and 1908 exists with and without IN GOD WE TRUST. No double eagles were struck in 1917, 1918 and 1919.
No prices, price guides, or population counts appear anywhere in this catalog. Coin Curator does not hold licensed data for any of those, so it publishes none. How we work.

Rank 1 is the lowest business-strike mintage in the series. Tiers are assigned from reported mintage alone: under 750,000 struck is a key date, under 2,500,000 a semi-key. The same thresholds apply to every series on this site, so tiers are comparable between them. That is a production measure, not a market judgement, and not a statement about how many survive.

Common questions
How many Saint-Gaudens double eagle dates and mintmarks are there?
52: 24 from Philadelphia, 13 from Denver and 15 from San Francisco. Seven come from the first two years, where the 1907 relief types and the 1908 motto types each have their own reported mintage. No double eagles at all were struck in 1917, 1918 and 1919, and in 1930, 1932 and 1933 only one mint struck them.
Why does mintage mislead so badly for this series?
Mintage and survival diverge more sharply in this series than anywhere else on the site. Double eagles were held as reserves rather than spent, so large numbers never entered circulation at all, and Executive Order 6102 recalled gold coin in 1933. The Treasury melting that followed destroyed most of what it held, and the issues of the late 1920s and early 1930s were hit hardest because they had barely left the vaults. The 1927-D is the extreme case: 180,000 struck, and a handful known today. Read the mintage here as what was made, never as what is available.
Why are so many of these issues marked as key dates?
Coin Curator assigns scarcity tiers from mintage alone, using the same thresholds for every series so they stay comparable: under 750,000 struck is a key date. Those thresholds sit where they do because most of the site catalogues silver, and gold was struck in far smaller numbers, so 28 of the 52 issues here clear the key-date bar. That is a fact about the denomination rather than about this series being unusually scarce, and it is why the tier column is less useful here than the survival notes on each date.
What is the difference between the 1907 High Relief and the rest?
The High Relief is the closest the Mint came to Saint-Gaudens' original design: relief so deep that each coin needed several blows from the press, with the date in Roman numerals as MCMVII. It could not be produced at scale, so Charles Barber lowered the relief and changed the date to Arabic numerals, and that is the form the series took for the next twenty-six years. A third version, the Ultra High Relief, exists in around twenty known examples; those were experimental pieces rather than an issued coin, appear in no reported mintage, and so have no entry here.
Why do 1908 coins exist with and without IN GOD WE TRUST?
Roosevelt had the motto left off, holding that putting it on money handled in ordinary commerce cheapened it. Congress disagreed and legislated it back partway through 1908, so Philadelphia and Denver each struck the coin in both forms that year and San Francisco struck only the later one. All are separately reported, which is why 1908 accounts for five entries.
Can you own a 1933 double eagle?
Almost certainly not. 445,500 were struck, but Executive Order 6102 recalled gold coin in April 1933 before the issue was paid out and the Mint melted the stock. A small number left the building irregularly; ten recovered in 2004 were held to be government property. Exactly one example, monetised through an export licence decades ago, can lawfully be held privately, and it is accounted for. Anything else offered as a 1933 double eagle is a replica or a coin of another date, which is why this catalog carries no marketplace link for it.
Which is the rarest one you can actually buy?
The 1927-D. Denver struck 180,000, but they were held as reserves rather than released, and the melting after the 1933 recall left only a handful. It is the clearest illustration in the series that a six-figure mintage can mean almost nothing about availability.
Does Coin Curator publish Saint-Gaudens double eagle values?
No. This catalog carries U.S. Mint production figures, historical context, and documented varieties. It does not publish prices, valuations, price guides, or population and census counts, because Coin Curator does not hold licensed data for any of those. That matters more on a gold series than on any other, since these coins carry both a bullion value and a numismatic one and neither is published here. Pages link to the grading services' own certification lookups and to marketplace searches so you can check current evidence yourself.
Mintage sources
Mintage figures are U.S. Mint production records, cross-checked against the published tables below on 2026-08-02. Where those tables disagree, the disagreement is disclosed on the affected page rather than resolved silently.
- CoinMintages.com, Saint-Gaudens double eagle mintages — Reports the 1907 relief types and the 1908 motto types separately, with proofs listed apart from business strikes.
- Wikipedia, "Saint-Gaudens double eagle" — Mintage table citing Yeoman and Bowers, and the source for the Ultra High Relief being an experimental piece rather than an issue.
- NGC and dealer references, 1909 and 1910-S — Consulted to break the two disagreements between the tables above.
