Lot Description

1909/8 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. FS-301. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Original golden-apricot surfaces are fully lustrous with a sharply executed strike. A highly significant variety, the 1909/8 double eagle is the only overdate in the four popular 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 this handsome Fairmont Collection specimen. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 9151.
