Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Desirable Low Mintage 1908-S Double Eagle Rare Near-Gem Mint State Quality 1908-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). This is a breathtakingly beautiful premium Choice Mint State example with razor sharp striking detail, intense satin luster and vivid golden-apricot color. The surfaces are exceptionally smooth and well preserved for an issue that is scarce even in the lowest Mint State grades. In fact, the 1908-S is one of very few Saint-Gaudens double eagles that is encountered more often circulated than Uncirculated. Given that only 22,000 pieces were produced - one of the lowest mintages for circulation strikes of this type - survivors are certainly elusive at all levels of preservation. No more than 50 Gem Mint State coins are believed extant, which fact confirms the fleeting bidding opportunity presented by this premium quality PCGS MS-64+ example, a noteworthy condition rarity in its own right. PCGS Population: 6; 34 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 9149. NGC ID: 26FA. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
