1908 Motto Ten Dollar, MS65+
Rare Plus-and-CAC Grade Combination

1908 $10 Motto MS65+ PCGS. CAC. The 1908 With Motto Indian eagle is much more plentiful than its No Motto counterpart, and it is also more available than either of the Denver issues that bear this date. However, that availability clusters the survivorship in the MS61 to MS64 grade range, and Gem pieces are scarce. The present coin is one of just four MS65s at PCGS to carry a Plus designation, and it is one of only 18 coins at the Gem level overall with CAC endorsement (6/24). These pieces rarely appear at auction. The last Plus-designated Gem example of this issue we handled was an NGC coin in our August 2014 ANA Signature, while the only PCGS Plus-CAC coin we handled in this grade appeared earlier still, in our 2011 FUN Signature.

The present coin represents an important opportunity for the Registry collector. Glistening mint luster yields lovely straw-gold, pale rose, and subtle greenish hues across vibrant cartwheel bands and boldly struck design elements. Only a few light grazes are discernible with a loupe, none individually distracting. Population: 88 in 65 (4 in 65+), 56 finer. CAC: 18 in 65, 9 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N2998)
