1909/8 Double Eagle, MS65
FS-301, 20th Century Overdate
Practically Uncollectible in Better Condition

1909/8 $20 FS-301 MS65 PCGS. The 1909/8 overdate double eagle is a famous and popular variety, one of the few known 20th century overdates. Like all 20th century overdates, this variety results from a hubbing error rather than the selection of an incorrect punch. The die first received an impression from a 1908 hub, and then received a second impression from a 1909 hub. The 1909 and 1909/8 twenties are about equally available, or rather, equally scarce in high grades.

Luminous yellow-gold surfaces radiate frosty mint luster. The raised design elements, including Liberty's face and torch hand, the Capitol, and the eagle's feathers and talons, all show pinpoint detail. Population: 19 in 65 (1 in 65+), 5 finer (5/20).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2009), lot 1850.
