Flashy Gem 1908-D Motto Eagle

1908-D $10 Motto MS65 NGC. Both the 1908-D With Motto and No Motto eagles are difficult to obtain at the Gem level, although examples of each appear from time to time in the numismatic marketplace. This Gem With Motto ten is an example of an issue that Garrett and Guth rank as "12th rarest of the 32 issues in that lofty grade." Interestingly, NGC has certified only three examples in MS65, but it has graded 11 pieces finer (10/09). This is a flashy Gem with tons of eye appeal and a two-toned appearance, golden-orange predominating with lilac accents on Liberty's cheek. As expected of the grade, contact is minor and undistracting.(Registry values: N7079)
