Lot Description

Pleasant deep golden-apricot color with tinges of hazy silvery-olive that are more pronounced on the obverse. The surfaces are 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.
