Outstanding 1908 Motto Ten Dollar, MS66

1908 $10 Motto MS66 PCGS. Congress disagreed with President Theodore Roosevelt's decision to omit the motto IN GOD WE TRUST from the newly designed ten and twenty dollar gold coinage. As an expression of public sentiment, Congress passed the Mint Act of 1908 mandating that the motto be restored to gold coinage. On the tens, it was placed in the field near the eagle's breast where it remained for the duration of coinage.
A subtle blend of peach-gold, mint-green, and lilac patina resides on the highly lustrous surfaces of this gorgeous Premium Gem, and a well executed strike imparts crisp definition to the design features. A few unobtrusive ticks fail to take away from the coin's outstanding overall eye appeal. Population: 28 in 66, 8 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N4719)
