***Auction Highlight*** 1909/08 FS-301 Saint-Gaudens Gold $20 Graded Choice Unc By USCG. This is the only overdate among all the gold issues from 1907 to 1933. The dies were left over from the 1908 No Motto twenties, thus the 1909/8 has the same "flat" look to the obverse that the other No Motto issues do. This example is well struck (the flatness on the obverse is the result of a weakness in the dies, not the strike) and exhibits the typical 1909/8 "soft" frosty appearance that is very appealing. Highly lustrous and essentially mark-free throughout, the color is a light greenish-gold, with a slight orange tint. Because it is an overdate and a very clear one at that, the 1909/8 is a very popular coin and is considered rare in finer conditions. It is also a Red Book Variety. I have included 2 other ms64 examples for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
