How much gold does this Double Eagle contain?

Each Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle contains 0.9675 troy oz of gold at a fineness of 0.9000 (90% gold, 10% copper alloy). This makes it one of the largest gold coins ever struck for general circulation in the United States.

Is the 1927 Double Eagle part of a broader series?

Yes. The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle series ran from 1907 to 1933, produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints. The 1927 Philadelphia issue is a key date for type collectors and complete Date Set builders seeking a high-grade representative example.

Description

The 1927 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle $20 Gold NGC MS64 is one of the most celebrated coins in all of American numismatics, graded MS64 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation and sealed in a tamper-evident NGC holder (cert. 3218003-020). Commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt and designed by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Double Eagle series (1907–1933) represented a bold artistic renaissance for U. S. coinage. The obverse portrays a full-length Lady Liberty striding forward, torch raised high and olive branch extended, set against radiating sunbeams and a border of stars. The reverse features a magnificent bald eagle in mid-flight, wings spread wide, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "TWENTY DOLLARS," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" arcing around the design. Containing 0. 9675 troy oz of gold, the 1927 Philadelphia issue saw a generous mintage relative to later dates in the series, yet examples grading MS64 display well-preserved luster and crisp, sharp detail that make them standout acquisitions for advanced type collectors and Date Set enthusiasts alike. This coin ships securely in its NGC holder, ready for a collection or display.
