1908 Motto Eagle, MS67
Ex: Jim O'Neal, Top-Notch Type Coin

1908 $10 Motto MS67 PCGS. Ex: O'Neal. The 1908 Indian eagle is the first issue of the With Motto type, and it is highly regarded as a type coin and pursued especially by collectors of first-year type coins. It was struck to the extent of a generous 341,370 pieces, and most survivors are lightly circulated or have plentiful bagmarks. Most of the certified Mint State coins cluster in the MS61-MS64 grade range. The certified populations at PCGS and NGC thin out markedly at the Gem grade level. The two services combined report only seven submissions in Superb Gem, with eight finer (9/14). This MS67 PCGS example, formerly in the storied Jim O'Neal Collection, displays beautiful yellow-gold surfaces with faint greenish undertones and a few splashes of deeper orange-gold. The luster is intense, and the design features all show crisp definition. The surfaces are immaculately well-preserved. A pedigree identifier appears in the form of one tiny, unobtrusive mark on the Indian's cheek. The exceptional eye appeal is sure to draw the attention of serious Indian Head gold collectors.
