3. Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle (1907)
Cost: $7.6 Million
It proved more difficult than expected to produce large quantities of the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle 1907 coin.
The complex design caused a halt in production. Something had to be done.
This decision was made by Charles Barber, the chief engraver at the U.S Mints. He chose to delete the words “In God We trust” from the coin.
Congress did not like this, but the coin was still produced and is worth $7.6 Million dollars!
