With Motto Gem 1908 Double Eagle
Ex: Brahin

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS Secure. Ex: Brahin. Against the objections of President Theodore Roosevelt, Congress voted to restore the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to national gold coinage beginning in 1908. This is the first year of the new design with 46 tiny stars around the obverse border, later changed in 1912, when two additional stars were added to the obverse to represent the last of the continental United States, New Mexico and Arizona. This is a sharply struck Gem with brilliant honey-gold and lilac colored luster and pristine surfaces. It is elusive in Gem quality, and only a few finer examples have been certified by PCGS, 10 to be exact (7/10).(Registry values: N7079)
