Vibrant MS65 1908 Motto Ten

1908 $10 Motto MS65 NGC. In private communication, President Theodore Roosevelt strongly defended his beliefs about placing the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on American coinage. Nevertheless, he refused to veto legislation brought before him to insert the motto in the Saint-Gaudens eagle and double eagle designs. Roosevelt signed Public Law No. 120 on May 18, 1908, and the law went into effect the next month.
The modified With Motto design for the eagle saw greater production than its No Motto counterpart in 1908, with over a third of a million pieces coined. This vibrantly lustrous yellow-gold Gem is one of the most attractive survivors. It offers bold detail and impressive preservation. NGC has graded just 42 numerically finer pieces (6/08).
