hi there and welcome to the boards

you have a 1908-s saint gaudens 20 dollar gold piece

au looks genuine to my minds eye

see the s mint mark above the 1908 date?? this means it was struck in san francisco

see on the reverse it has the words in god we trust

this means it is a with motto 1908-s 20 dollar gold piece well san fran only made with motto saints lol but you get my point

it might be the photo but it looks cleaned i think it is just the photo but i cant see it in hand so this is the best i can do

looks again like a nice decent au coin

THIS COIN NEEDS TO BE SENT INTO NGC FOR GRADING AS IT IS WORTH CLOSE TO 5000.00 USD if graded au 50 53 or so by ngc in a problem free holder

okie lets do this

LETS ASSUME IT GETS SLABBED BY NGC AS AU 50 THEN I HAVE SEEN AU 50 COINS OF THIS DATE SELL AT AUCTION FOR AROUND 4500 USD

AND DEPENDING ON THE GRADE IT COMES BACK AND WAHT IT LOOKS LIKE IN HAND SIGHT SEEN IT COULD BE WORTH THAT OR MORE

good luck and again welcome to the boards

a low mintage coin too with only 22,000 minted

after looking at your coin again it looks like from some rim damage it could have been formerly mounted in a bezel ?? and since i cant see it in hand the the photo is a strange color might just be the photo?? i dont know but in hand could be different

your best bet

this coin needs to be sent to ngc for grading to maximise its value and saleability and see what ngc says as they can look at it in their hands sight seen and they have expert graders

it is worth a shot as it is a coin that could be worth up to 4500+ dollars dependi ng on the grade and if it comes back in a details holder saying it has some damage to the coin worth around 1800-1900 at least i would think and the slab no matter what will help saleability and demand
