Description

1908-S $20 AU 55 PCGS. With only 22,000 pieces struck, the '08-S is second only to the 1907 High Relief in terms of numbers produced. A modest quantity of choice '08-S twenties were recently dispersed into the numismatic marketplace, but this low mintage issue still remains quite scarce. The matte-like surfaces retain almost complete satiny luster, and the devices are sharply struck throughout. A few minor alloy spots are located on the reverse rim in front of the eagle's beak.
From the David & Jeannie Cheung Collection.
