Lot Description

Incredibly lustrous and temptingly close to Mint State eye appeal at a quick glance. Warm yellow-gold surfaces exhibit bold definition and only minimal traces of handling. One of only 22,000 examples struck, all with the motto on the reverse; the San Francisco presses were silent during the striking of the No Motto coinage. Absolutely choice for the assigned grade -- we've all seen coins with finer grades that don't measure up to this AU-55 specimen. Take a good look at this one. 1908-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). PCGS# 9149. NGC ID: 26FA. Click herefor certification details from PCGS.
