1908 Motto Double Eagle, MS64 CAC
Seldom Available Finer

1908 $20 Motto MS64 PCGS. CAC. After producing a large mintage of the old No Motto design earlier in the year, the Philadelphia Mint struck a modest total of 156,258 Saint-Gaudens double eagles with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse in 1908. The With Motto coins all featured the new Long Rays obverse and were delivered in 12 batches in November and December. Many of the coins were used in foreign trade and repatriated from European sources in later years. Most examples seen are in lower Uncirculated grades, with bagmarked surfaces from rough storage and handling. This spectacular Choice example exhibits sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved orange-gold surfaces that show no mentionable distractions. Vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides, enhancing the outstanding eye appeal. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC.(Registry values: N2998)
