1908-S $20 St Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS-63 NGC
The 1908-S Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle represents a fascinating moment in United States numismatic history. Struck at the San Francisco mint, this twenty dollar gold piece is composed of 90 percent gold and contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. It belongs to the celebrated Saint-Gaudens series, which is widely admired for its artistic merit and bold design. What makes this specific issue particularly compelling to explore is its extreme scarcity. The San Francisco mint produced a mere 22,000 of these coins in 1908, leaving behind a tiny population for modern enthusiasts to study. This specimen has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63), preserving the intricate details of its design and the distinct 'S' mint mark that denotes its West Coast origin.
