<p>[QUOTE="Johndoe2000$, post: 2706329, member: 82085"]No, it was privately minted for the National Park Foundation. If I remember correctly, this was the original design for the St.Gaudens $20 gold pc. But due to the technology of the time, the U.S. mint was unable to produce it. So they made modifications, and minted the St.Gaudens that we all know, and love. A couple years ago Mercanti was tasked to recreate the original Design. I also think that they might have used a original cast, or finished engraving the original dies. Something like that. They didn't start from scratch to make these. Not completely sure. One could probably find the exact details at MCM, or just a search.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
