Certified $20 St Gaudens 1909 Over 8 AU58 NGC

Not discovered until 1910, the 1909 over 8 $20 St Gaudens error affected over 80,000 coins. The problem began when an engraver struck a 1908-dated die with a 1909 hub, creating an overdate die. One die can mint up to 80,000 coins and the number of problematic dies is unknown. This "error" was thought of as scarce until hoards were shipped back from European banks. Although it is thought that there is an abundant amount of these 9 over 8 coins, the $20 St Gaudens double eagle is still on many collectors' bucket lists, especially in higher grades. Your Certified 1909 Over 8 $20 St Gaudens double eagle is in prime almost uncirculated condition, earning a grade of AU58. NGC not only issued your coin's grade but also preserved it in an official NGC slab.
