William Sturgis Bigelow received the proof of the new $20 gold coin and praises it highly. Some people will not like it because it does not stack, but Bigelow believes this will not be a problem. He has had two die-cutters and art museum experts wrestling with the idea of making a high-relief coin that can stack. When he has a model he will send it to President Roosevelt.
