Scarce 1908 Motto Double Eagle, MS65
Bright Yellow-Gold Color

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. The infrequency with which Gem quality 1908 Motto double eagles appear at auction lends even more importance to this particular lot, as we have only sold a handful of MS65 specimens over the past 15 years. Of course, as a low mintage (156,359 pieces) date, the '08 Motto is a desirable coin at all levels of preservation, and it is considered rare as a Gem. Yellow-gold in cast, the softly frosted features are boldly struck throughout and much sharper in detail than that which is often seen on similarly dated No Motto examples. Just a few wispy abrasions are seen under magnification, but these do not detract from this coin's pleasing overall appearance. Population: 38 in 65, 10 finer (6/08).
