1908-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS).Scarce and desirable Mint State preservation for this key date 20th century gold issue. Vivid color in warm golden-wheat with blended pinkish-rose, both sides also sport full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. Well produced with boldly rendered design elements, this handsome BU example is sure to catch the eye of advanced gold enthusiasts.<p>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. Q. David Bowers provides an estimate of 400 to 600 coins in all Mint State grades in his 2004 <em>Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins</em>, published by Whitman. This is a limited total by the standards of the Saint-Gaudens series, confirming the significance of this offering.PCGS# 9149.
