Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 06/14/2011 4:54 pm I bought a decent AU 1909 St. Gaudens double eagle at the local shop basically as a bullion piece. I later noticed it was the 1909/8 overdate which was not noted by the dealer. According to the Coin Prices retail guide this variety only carries a premium in mint state grades. Would anyone have a comment? Did the coin shop leave money on the table, or would a normal AU 1909 be priced the same as the overdate? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/16/2011 12:29 pm Judging from recent (and there's plenty of recent) comparative Heritage results, DVCollector is on the mark although RB is $100+ish low on actual sale prices. Counting the vig, they're right on. Report this Post to the Staff
