<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1909-D $20 MS64 PCGS. In its second year of production for the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, the Denver mint delivered only 52,500 coins. This date was once regarded as a major rarity in Mint State, but the emergence of a Central American hoard in 1983 has made the '09-D generally available in grades up to and including the MS63 level. In Choice and finer grades, however, this issue remains very elusive. Softly frosted with pleasing cartwheel effects, the surfaces are tinged in rich golden hues. Both sides are well produced with sharp definition and freedom from all but a few, mostly small abrasions. Population: 91 in 64, 10 finer (2/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
