Call for Price
During his presidency, Theodore Roosevelt felt that the coinage of the United States was inferior compared to the designs of many foreign nations, especially when compared to the coinage of ancient Greece. A nation as great as the United States should have a currency that would reflect its greatness. Roosevelt arranged for Augusts Saint Gaudens (considered one of the best sculptors of the time) to redesign the coinage of the United States.
