1907 was the first year of issue.
Unfortunately, the US mint did not product any St Gaudens gold coins in 1906. Production first began in 1907. View the link below to see a list of every year the St Gaudens Gold "Double Eagle" was produced and how much each of those coins are worth based on their condition.

There were no $20 gold coins minted in the USA in 1939.
Two different US $20.00 gold coins were minted in 1907, a Liberty Head & the Saint-Gaudens. Please post new question with the type.
$20
No Saint-Gaudens $20 gold coins have been struck since 1933. The modern American Eagle Bullion coins that use a modified rendition of Saint-Gaudens design are only struck in $5, $10, $25 and $50 denominations.
No, the first US (Federal issue) gold coin was minted in 1795 and the double eagle ($20) wasn't minted until 1850.

It didn't cost anything, because there was no such thing yet. The first Gold Eagle bullion coins were minted in 1986.

You'll need to be more specific than "circa", because that means "somewhere near". Also, an eagle is a $10 coin; a double eagle is a $20 coin. If you mean that the coin was SPECIFICALLY minted in 1908, AND it's a double eagle, its value as of 07/2008 is about $1100 for its gold content, regardless of mint mark. However from an artistic standpoint the St Gaudens design is considered to be one of the 2 or 3 most beautiful coins ever minted, so the thought of throwing it in a melting pot is a bit depressing.
These are beautiful coins - a 1924 Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle coin is worth in extra fine condition (EF40): $1225.
2.79mm is the nominal thickness of the 1924 Saint-Gaudens $20.00 double eagle.
