Gold Coin Obverse

1907 Saint-Gaudens

Commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt as part of a bold initiative to elevate American coinage, the 1907 Saint-Gaudens design is widely regarded as the most beautiful U.S. coin ever struck.

Liberty, personified by a statuesque woman striding powerfully forward, leads the way with a torch in her front hand and an olive branch in her back hand on the obverse. The U.S. Capitol dome sits in the background.

Gold Coin Reverse

1907 Saint-Gaudens

On the reverse, a young eagle flying during a sunrise is depicted. A high relief version of this classic coin was produced only briefly in 1907. It remains a legend in numismatic history for its artistry, craftsmanship, and ambition.

Saint-Gaudens' design was featured on the Double Eagle from 1907 to 1933, when an executive order from President Franklin Roosevelt banned the ownership of gold coins.

Silver Companion Medal

1907 Saint-Gaudens

Designed as a companion to the iconic 1907 $20 gold coin, this medal offers a dramatic and artful reinterpretation of Saint-Gaudens’ original vision. Liberty strides forward with renewed purpose, her torch blazing—now seen through the artist’s own distinctive style. The eagle’s powerful wings are transformed into a flowing American flag, creating a bold, modern expression of strength and national pride.

Silver Companion Medal

1804 Silver Dollar

Created as a companion to the legendary 1804 Silver Dollar, this one ounce silver medal draws inspiration from the coin’s elegant design and the historic diplomatic mission it served.

Flowing, ribbon-like hair on the obverse echoes Liberty’s styling on the original, while arched clouds from the classic reverse reappear as a braided motif—encircling Liberty's head and the globe, symbolizing the dollar’s international journey and lasting legacy.

1804 Silver Dollar

Entire books have been written about this historic rarity, one of the most legendary U.S. coins. 1804 Silver Dollars were first minted in 1834 for special diplomatic proof coin sets. Only eight are known to exist from the first strike with the first reverse die. Seven were minted in the late 1850s from the second strike with the second reverse die.

The coin earned its name by repurposing the Draped Bust Dollar designs that were last used in 1803 to strike "1804" dated coins. The obverse depicts a draped bust of Liberty facing right, flanked by 13 stars, with long hair bound by a ribbon.

Gold Coin Reverse

1804 Silver Dollar

The reverse features a heraldic design showing an eagle with raised wings, bearing a United States shield upon its breast and holding a scroll inscribed with “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

The eagle carries 13 arrows in its right talon and an olive branch in its left under clouds and 13 stars. The inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” encircles the coin.

1916 Walking Liberty

Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the original Walking Liberty was a triumph of numismatic artistry—Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag—a powerful symbol of hope on the horizon, freedom, forward momentum, and the enduring spirit of a young nation. It’s artistry and symbolism were so enduring, they inspired the design of the American Silver Eagle introduced in 1986.

Adolph Weinman’s powerful design shows Miss Liberty striding toward the rising sun, draped in a billowing American flag. On the reverse, a fierce-looking eagle stands on a rocky mountain crag.

Created as a companion to the iconic 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, this 1 oz 99.9 percent fine silver medal reimagines the original design in a bold, new way.

Elements from Weinman’s neoclassical masterpiece are unified into a single, flowing scene that spans both the obverse and reverse--captured in the sleek, geometric elegance of the Art Deco style that followed his era.

1916 Standing Liberty

1916 Standing Liberty

The Standing Liberty Quarter design pays homage to one of our Nation's most beloved coins. This timeless beauty helped bring about a renaissance in American coinage in 1916 and has become a cornerstone of American numismatics, cherished by collectors for over a century.

Designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, the coin depicts Liberty on its obverse. She is holding a shield and an olive branch as she steps through an opening in a wall bearing 13 stars. The reverse shows an eagle in flight flanked by 13 stars.

With its limited mintage and elegant design, the 1916 Mercury Dime is considered one of the most beautiful coins in our country’s history. The silver companion medal is a tribute to the dime's era of 1916-1945, reflecting a time of profound transformation in the United States. Every element tells a powerful story of a nation enduring, evolving, and emerging stronger.
