Lovely MS64 1908-S Twenty

1908-S $20 MS64 PCGS. While the 1908-S is not a rare issue in the way many of the later branch mint and post-1928 Philadelphia double eagle issues are, its surprisingly low mintage of 22,000 pieces and a middling survival rate have combined to make it one of the most desirable early Motto twenties, particularly in higher grades. Garrett and Guth (2006) note that most examples today are circulated or in lesser Mint State, with Select pieces challenging and anything finer especially so. This yellow-orange Choice piece offers smooth butter-yellow surfaces and pleasing detail. Though the reverse devices exhibit a handful of light grazes, the obverse shows few such flaws, and the coin displays beautifully. Population: 29 in 64, 28 finer (8/09).
