1909/8 FS-301 Double Eagle, MS65
The Only Saint-Gaudens Overdate

1909/8 $20 FS-301 MS65 PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint struck 161,282 double eagles in 1909, and slightly more than half of those are from this overdate obverse, based on current PCGS and NGC population data. The two grading companies have certified 4,348 submissions that are attributed as overdates, and 3,635 examples that are identified as normal date coins. Despite those seemingly large numbers, Gem or finer examples are rarely encountered. This impressive and boldly detailed piece has frosty and fully brilliant luster, featuring rich honey-gold surfaces and extraordinary eye appeal. Population: 20 in 65 (3 in 65+), 6 finer (2/25).
