1908 St Gaudens Double Eagle No Motto

Very beautiful......did you hold the seller to the "our price $48.50"?

Pretty extensive wear on all the high points and obvious friction in the fields. You don't often see Saints with this much wear; most seem to be at least low-end AU. Your coin is probably EF-40 maybe 45. Color is nice and there aren't as many contact marks as you would expect given the level of wear.

Just a circulated, common-date coin with value determined by the gold spot price. Still a nice asset to own and the old envelope is way cool. I remember when $20 pieces were offered in the "Stamp and Coin Corner" section of the Los Angeles Times for $49.99. I badgered my Dad about buying some and he finally did pick up 10, but not until the price had escalated to $59.99. Still an OK investment!

Thanks for sharing!

Another XF40 here...$48.50...priceless!

Looking back, he really didn't say this was Unc. He just said Catalogue Value in Unc was $70.00

XF-45

If the colors are correct, it looks like someone dipped that coin, too.
