We are excited to offer an exceptional example of one of the most sought-after varieties in U.S. numismatics—the 1909/8 $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, graded MS64 by PCGS. This overdate coin is a true rarity, combining the beauty of the Saint Gaudens design with the intrigue of a significant minting error, making it a must-have for serious collectors.

The 1909/8 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle is a rare and highly coveted variety in the Saint Gaudens series. The overdate error occurred when dies from 1908 were repurposed for the 1909 coinage, leading to the visible “8” beneath the “9” in the date. This variety is especially prized by collectors for its uniqueness and the story it tells about early 20th-century minting practices.

Graded MS64 by PCGS, this coin is in Mint State condition, showcasing brilliant luster and sharp details. The coin has been well-preserved, with only minor marks that do not detract from its overall eye appeal. In this grade, the 1909/8 overdate is particularly desirable, as higher-grade examples are extremely rare.

The 1909/8 overdate is not only a rare variety but also a significant piece in the Saint Gaudens series, which is highly revered by collectors. The Saint Gaudens Double Eagle was part of President Theodore Roosevelt’s ambitious plan to revitalize U.S. coinage, and this overdate coin adds an extra layer of historical intrigue to that legacy.
