Reserve Edition Pre-1933 Saint Gaudens Gold Eagle Coin Ring Sale price8,300.00

American gold, before it disappeared from private hands.

This ring is crafted from an original pre-1933 Saint-Gaudens $20 gold coin, minted between 1907 and 1933, sourced exclusively in Mint State (MS-63 or better) condition. Each coin is professionally authenticated and graded prior to forging.

In 1933, private gold ownership was outlawed in the United States. Millions of gold coins were recalled and melted. The Saint-Gaudens coins that remain today did so by chance, foresight, or quiet preservation—making each surviving example increasingly rare.

The finished ring is large, authoritative, and unmistakably historic. Most finished rings weigh approximately 26–27 grams, depending on size—delivering the kind of presence that is immediately felt on the hand and instantly recognizable to those familiar with gold.

What sets this piece apart:

  • Edge lettering reading E PLURIBUS UNUM with 13 stars, replacing the reeded edge found on modern bullion
  • A warmer golden hue than modern Gold Eagles, resulting from the original coin’s alloy
  • Subtle variations that reflect age, authenticity, and survival—not uniformity

This is not modern bullion transformed.

It is American gold reclaimed from history.

Finish: Offered exclusively in Polished, allowing the edge lettering, stars, and sculptural details to remain fully legible and visually striking.

The Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Coin

  • Years Minted: 1907–1933
  • Gold Content (Coin): 1 troy ounce pure gold
  • Composition: 22-karat gold
  • Condition: Mint State (MS-63 or better)
  • Authentication: Professionally graded prior to forging

Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this coin is widely regarded as the most beautiful ever produced by the United States. Its bold Liberty and classical balance represent the high point of American coin artistry.

Unlike modern bullion, the Saint-Gaudens coin features edge lettering rather than reeded edges—a detail preserved in the finished ring and rarely seen in contemporary gold pieces.

From sealed artifact to wearable heirloom.

Each Saint-Gaudens ring begins as a graded, authenticated gold coin, carefully removed from its protective holder and forged individually using a controlled, hand-guided process.

The coin is shaped—not cast—so the gold retains its original density and character. Particular care is taken to preserve:

  • The edge lettering and star pattern
  • The warmth and depth of the original gold
  • A substantial, balanced band profile

Forging a century-old gold coin demands restraint. The goal is not transformation through force, but refinement through respect.

Prepared as a rare American heirloom.
