According to Garrett and Guth (2006): "Congress demanded that the motto IN GOD WE TRUST be restored to the eagles as it had been placed on all coinage soon after the Civil War. President Theodore Roosevelt (in office 1901 to 1909) felt that it was immoral to have God's name placed on a coin. Nevertheless, Congress prevailed and Charles Barber placed the motto before the eagle's breast." <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
