Description
Popular Gem 1908-D Motto Ten
1908-D $10 Motto MS65 PCGS. The 1908-D Motto ten is an issue that was produced in quantity but little saved, creating a condition rarity. Despite a mintage of over 800,000 pieces that makes it one of the five most heavily produced Saint-Gaudens eagle issues, the 1908-D With Motto eagle is substantially more elusive than a typical issue in Gem and better grades. PCGS has certified only 10 pieces in MS65 and a mere seven coins finer (6/08).This immensely lustrous example is primarily yellow-gold with slightly deeper orange elements at the lower left obverse. The strike is crisp overall, with particularly pleasing detail in the centers, and its preservation is excellent. A strong candidate for the discerning series enthusiast.
