Description
1908-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, AU53
1908-S $20 AU53 NGC. The 1908-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle boasts a low mintage of 22,000 pieces. The issue is actually a first-year type coin, because of the addition of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, but many collectors do not realize the significance of the new design. The present coin is a pleasing AU53 example, with sharply defined devices and just a trace of wear on the high points.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26FA, PCGS# 9149, GSID# 10161)
