Someone once observed that a giraffe was a horse designed by a committee.
Description
Someone once observed that a giraffe was a horse designed by a committee. The same might be said of this coin: what had seemed a good idea around a table in the boardroom proved to be an interesting but spectacular flop as it neared production.
The coin resulted from a project that President Theodore Roosevelt began in 1905 to redesign American coinage. He commissioned sculptor August Saint-Gaudens to create the new designs, and Saint-Gaudens developed a plan for an ultra-high relief $20 coin. The coin here, which appears to have been struck early in 1907, followed Saint-Gaudens' basic designs, but there the similarities ended.
This experimental coin contained twenty dollars' worth of gold, but it was squeezed into a coin the width of a ten-dollar piece. The discrepancy was handled by making the patterns much thicker than ordinary coins. Staff at the Mint wondered whether it was possible to decrease the diameter to have the best of both worlds: a coin in glorious high relief that didn't take quite as many blows of the press to create. The experiment failed. Although the patterns were unacceptable for commerce, word of their existence leaked out to the collecting community. An exasperated Mint Director wanted them called in and melted down. Somehow two escaped. Both are in the Smithsonian Collection.

Theodore Roosevelt met sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in the 1890s, when T.R. was an aspiring young politician, and Saint-Gaudens was establishing a reputation as a brilliant artist.
Description
Theodore Roosevelt met sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in the 1890s, when T.R. was an aspiring young politician, and Saint-Gaudens was establishing a reputation as a brilliant artist. When Roosevelt was elected President in 1904 and needed an inaugural medal, he gave the commission to Saint-Gaudens after rejecting the standard, unmemorable medal typically produced for this occasion by the United States Mint.
Saint-Gaudens's results shattered precedent. The piece was modern in all senses of the word. There was no attempt to beautify or romanticize the President's head on the obverse, yet the image clearly conveyed vision and power. The reverse was, if anything, even more groundbreaking. The magnificent, left-facing eagle epitomized authority and presence, while displaying a classical ancient style. (The same eagle is used on the Saint-Gaudens $10 in 1907). This bird unquestionably ruled all it surveyed.
Saint-Gaudens's success with this medal convinced Roosevelt that the artist was the partner he needed to collaborate on a pet project: the redesign of America's money. Saint-Gaudens signed on, and the plotting began. But the potential for trouble hovered on the horizon: this medal had been struck, not by the United States Mint in Philadelphia, but by Tiffany & Company in New York. If the Mint hadn't produced Saint-Gaudens's medal, would it agree to produce any of his coins?

Description
This design, inspired by the Ultra High Relief masterpiece of August Saint-Gaudens, was created by his assistant upon Saint-Gaudens's death in August, 1907. The original coin took at least nine blows to form the relief- this was completely impractical for a mass-produced coinage. Lowering the relief reduced the number of blows needed to create each coin to five. But the need to expediently pump coins into circulation won out over the attention to detail required to produce each high relief coin. This version enjoyed only a brief run, and only about eleven thousand were ever struck.

Description
National bank note proof from the National Capital Bank of Washington DC, $50-100. Charter number 10316. The $50 note features the portrait of John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury from 1877 to 1881, and Secretary of State from 1897 to 1898. The $100 note depicts John J. Knox, Comptroller of the Currency from 1872 to 1884. National bank notes usually had four signatures on the faces; two Treasury officials and two signatures of officers in the bank that issued the notes. This proof sheet shows an interesting feature that occurred occasionally during the 1920’s where the bank would instruct the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to engrave the bank officers’ signatures, in this case Charles Boyer as Cashier and John Poole as President. This bank was organized on January 15, 1913 and changed its title to Federal-American on October 31, 1922 when this bank absorbed the American National Bank, Charter 6712 on that date. The title change was certainly the occasion for producing this plate a month after the change occurred. This was the only bank in D.C. to issue Series of 1902 plain backs in these denominations of $50 and $100. The bank went into receivership October 31, 1933. There are eleven large size notes with the new bank title and twenty-five notes with the earlier title known among collectors.
