Description

Conditionally Rare Gem 1908-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty

1908-S $20 MS65 NGC. This is a visually delightful, technically impressive representative of the second-lowest mintage for a regular business strike issue in the Saint Gaudens series of double eagles. The 1908-S had a total production of only 22,000 pieces, and survivors are rare at the Gem level of preservation or finer. This is one of the most attractive examples that we have seen in recent years. The design elements are boldly struck, with just a touch of faint weakness evident on Liberty's knee. The matte-like surfaces display soft, shimmering mint frost and delicate champagne-gold toning. Surface marks are minimal. Census: 7 in 65, 5 finer (6/08).
