Description

1908-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS64
Sought-After, Low-Mintage Issue

1908-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1908-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a meager mintage of 22,000 pieces, a small production total for any 20th century coin. All of the coins were struck after July 1, 1908, when Congress mandated the inclusion of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the design, an important consideration for type purposes. The 1908-S is one of the few issues in the series that is seen more often in circulated grades than Mint State, and examples in MS64 condition are rare.

This attractive Choice specimen displays sharp definition on all design elements and vibrant mint luster radiates from the vivid orange-gold surfaces. Only a few minor signs of contact are evident and eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 37 in 64 (3 in 64+), 27 finer (11/15).
