详细说明

Starting with a low mintage of just 22,000, the 1908-S double eagle is quite rare in Mint State grades. This borderline Mint State coin is so very close, and is the only AU58+ graded by PCGS. Nearly full frosty mint luster radiates on both sides. A strong glass reveals a few tiny ticks and only the slightest touch of friction on the highest points and in the fields. Pale yellow gold in the center, the color deepens to a warm honey gold toward the peripheral details. The eye appeal is quite nice, PQ for an AU, and certainly highly desirable as such!. PCGS 115, NGC 135, CAC 21. PCGS and NGC have each graded just a single AU58+. The only one to ever sell in auction was the ex Newman NGC/CAC coin that realized $9,400 in November 2014. Most Mint State coins are clustered in the MS60 to MS62 grades. This coin has a very similar look without the price tag. Cert. Number 34585436 PCGS # 009149
