1908-S $20 St Gaudens Gold Double Eagle AU-53 NGC
The 1908-S Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle stands as a remarkable artifact from the United States pre-1933 gold era. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this twenty-dollar denomination represents a fascinating intersection of artistry and scarcity. It is composed of 0.900 fine gold, containing 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. What makes this particular issue incredibly compelling to explore is its exceptionally low production run. The San Francisco Mint struck a mere 22,000 of these twenty-dollar gold pieces in 1908, making it one of the scarcer entries in the celebrated Saint-Gaudens series. This specific coin bears the "S" mint mark, indicating its West Coast origin, and has survived the decades in an About Uncirculated 53 state of preservation.
