Closing out the United States Mint\u2019s five-release Best of the Mint series, the 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief $20 Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set goes on sale today at noon ET. The release recreates one of the most celebrated designs in American numismatic history.<\/p>\n

\"1907
1907 Saint Gaudens High Relief $20 Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set is the fifth and final release in the Best of the Mint Semiquincentennial series<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Issued for America\u2019s 250th anniversary, the set pairs a one-ounce 24-karat gold recreation of Augustus Saint-Gaudens\u2019 famed 1907 High Relief Double Eagle, bearing a Liberty Bell 250 privy mark, with a newly designed one-ounce silver medal.<\/p>\n

In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt sought to elevate the artistic quality of American coinage and commissioned the renowned sculptor to redesign the $20 gold piece.<\/p>\n

Saint-Gaudens\u2019 design called for exceptionally high relief, allowing for remarkable sculptural detail but making the coins difficult to produce using standard minting equipment. Only a limited number were struck before the Mint lowered the relief later that year for practical mass production. The original version is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful U.S. coins ever created and remains highly prized by collectors.<\/p>\n

Semiquincentennial Best of the Mint Program<\/h3>\n

The Best of the Mint series is one of several U.S. Mint programs marking the 2026 Semiquincentennial, pairing .9999 fine gold coins inspired by classic American designs with modern one-ounce .999 fine silver medals. The lineup includes:<\/p>\n

Sales totals through Sept. 20 vary considerably among the first four releases. Closest to its mintage limit is the Mercury Dime set, with 29,824 of a possible 30,000 reported sold. Sales stand at 16,744 for the Standing Liberty set and 10,105 for the Walking Liberty set, both also capped at 30,000. The 1804 Silver Dollar set, limited to 15,000, has recorded sales of 11,915.<\/p>\n
