1908-D Motto Double Eagle, MS66
Seldom Seen This Fine

1908-D $20 Motto MS66 PCGS. An extremely important opportunity is presented to Saint-Gaudens double eagle specialists. The 1908-D Motto twenty had a mintage of 349,500 coins, and the majority of survivors are in lower Mint State grades. Gems are rare and finer examples, such as this highly lustrous and brilliant Premium Gem, are extremely rare in the context of the series. This rich yellow-gold example has a trace of pale rose patina to heighten its overall eye appeal. Comparable pieces rarely appear at auction, and only a handful of higher-grade pieces are known. Population: 38 in 66 (3 in 66+), 4 finer (7/25).
