Always-Popular, Low Mintage 1908-S Twenty, MS64

1908-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1908-S is considered a better date in all grades because of its tiny emission of 22,000 pieces. A majority of survivors are XF to AU, and examples with full mint luster are highly contested when offered for sale. This boldly struck and attractive near-Gem has an especially well preserved reverse, and the obverse is also pleasing with only minor grazes present, mostly near 3 o'clock. Although the glamour dates in the Saint-Gaudens series are the High Reliefs and the heavily melted postwar issues, the 1908-S is an obvious low-mintage rarity in mint condition. Population: 29 in 64, 25 finer (6/08).
