History

The Double Eagle went through a number of alterations in its early years following the 1907 debut of the Saint-Gaudens design. The original strikes in 1907 featured a high-relief strike, but the US Mint found high-relief strikes unreliable for circulation production volumes. In 1908, large volumes of the coins were produced before the eventual decision to add the national motto on the reverse.
