Popular 1909/8 Overdate Twenty, MS65

1909/8 $20 MS65 PCGS. FS-301. The 1909/8 overdate double eagle is a famous and popular variety, one of few known 20th century overdates. Like all 20th century overdates, this is actually a hubbing error rather than the selection of an incorrect punch. The die received an impression from a 1908 hub, and then received a second impression from a 1908 hub. In addition to its beauty that results from frosty lemon-yellow luster, sharp design details, and pristine surfaces, it also ranks near the top of the census for the variety. Population: 15 in 65, 3 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N7079)
