Fantastic Gem 1908 Motto Twenty

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. Unlike the 1907 High Relief twenties, which were saved for their obvious aesthetic value, or the 1908 No Motto double eagles, unintentionally preserved in a stateside hoard for nearly a century, the 1908 Motto issue went essentially unsaved at the time of issue, and most repatriated survivors fall short of the Gem standard embodied by the present coin. The central devices are well-defined, and the lilac-tinged sun-gold surfaces offer soft, pleasing luster. A carefully preserved representative from an issue that seldom comes any finer. Population: 38 in 65, 10 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26F8, PCGS# 9147, GSID# 10135)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
Mintage: 156,258
