<B>1908-S $20 AU53 PCGS.</B></I> Writing in their 2006 publication, the <I>Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933</B></I>, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth note that: "The 1908-S issue is the first truly low-mintage issue." They refer, of course, to the Saint-Gaudens series of double eagles, which began in 1907. The 1908-S mintage was, indeed, a very low production of only 22,000 pieces. This reddish-gold piece displays a typical degree of wear from circulation, for the grade, and just a few scattered marks on each side. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
