Select 1908 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
With Motto, First-Year Type Coin

1908 $20 Motto MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1908 Saint-Gaudens double eagle featured the return of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST during the later part of the year. The low mintage of 156,258 pieces made the With Motto issue much less available than its No Motto counterpart, as well as a first-year type coin. The present coin is a pleasing Select example with attractive orange-gold surfaces and intense visual appeal. The design elements are strongly delineated and even the Capital shows fine detail on the columns. Scattered small abrasions in the fields are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
