Low Mintage MS61 1908-S Double Eagle

1908-S $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1908-S double eagle is among the most prized early Saint-Gaudens dates through all grade levels. With only 22,000 pieces struck, a figure just over twice the production of the legendary High Relief twenties, it is little wonder that examples would be elusive regardless of grade, and the date's famously low mintage has attracted many collectors otherwise not interested in the series. This MS61 survivor has moderately abraded, softly lustrous surfaces, gold-orange with areas of deeper alloy at the high points. Overall eye appeal is strong despite these scattered faults. A coin of definite interest.(Registry values: N2998)
