1909/8 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. FS-301. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC.Bountiful mint luster blends with warm medium gold patina on both sides of this sharply defined and attractive example. A highly significant variety, the 1909/8 double eagle is the only overdate in the four popular and widely collected 20th century U.S. Mint gold series. While repatriations from foreign bank hoards have made low end Uncirculated coins relatively obtainable, the variety remains scarce in Choice Mint State and rare any finer. For the assigned grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more appealing coin than that offered here.From the Fairmont Collection.
