San Francisco Mint Eagle Bullion Coins

The coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint of the US Mint and include an S mintmark on the obverse.

AU-58 Grade

Coins that receive the grade of AU-58 means there is slight wear on the highest points of the design.

1909/8 Overdate Double Eagle Series

An overdate on a coin is where a die has been recut or re-punched to alter the date. This may have been done for economic reasons, to avoid discarding a perfectly good die at the beginning of a new year, because of a lack of new dies, or to correct an error.

This overdate features on the reverse side of the coin. The issue date '1909' has been struck over the previous issue date of '1908'. This variety can be identified if you look at the second '9' in the issue date - it looks different from the first '9' in the issue date.

Double Eagles

The USA began regularly issuing gold coins in 1795. Although most of the coins feature an eagle as a major part of their design, the $10 piece acquired the name "eagle", with other denominations being named "double eagles", "half eagles", and "quarter eagles".

These eagle coins are not to be confused with the modern gold bullion eagles.

Obverse

The obverse was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and shows Lady Liberty holding an olive branch and a torch. The inscription reads:

LIBERTY 1908

Reverse

The reverse was also designed by engraver Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It shows an eagle with the sunshine in the background. The inscription reads:

UNITED·STATES·OF·AMERICA
TWENTY·DOLLARS

The motto 'In God We Trust' is omitted.
