Conditionally Scarce 1908 Motto Double Eagle, MS65

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. Light straw-gold and yellow-green coloration adorns the satiny surfaces of this conditionally rare Gem. More than 500 examples of this second-year issue have been graded as near-Gems, by the two major grading companies; but just 55 pieces have been certified at MS65, as of (6/08). Generally boldly struck, even if a tad weak on a few of the highpoints of the obverse design, including Liberty's torch hand. The design for this type was slightly modified several times in 1907, and, in 1908 the motto IN GOD WE TRUST was added to the lower reverse. Only 156,258 business strikes were made of the with Motto type, however, compared to 4.27 million examples of the 1908 No Motto.
