Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1908-S $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1908-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle boasts an extremely low mintage for a 20th century coin at just 22,000 pieces. Many examples were released into circulation at the time of issue and this date is seen more often in circulated grades than in Mint State, an unusual situation for the series. As a result, the 1908-S is scarce in MS63 condition and rare any finer.
This is a pleasing Select example with vivid orange-gold surfaces and well-detailed design elements. The vibrantly lustrous surfaces show only a scattering of light, grade-appropriate marks, with a small nick on the reverse above the O in OF. Population: 18 in 63, 64 finer. CAC: 3 in 63, 22 finer (11/16).
Ex: The Milly Chaykin Collection (Heritage, 10/2011), lot 5214.
