Description

Exceptionally Clean 1908 Motto Twenty, MS65

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. Millions of No Motto double eagles were struck at Philadelphia in 1908, but far fewer of their Motto counterparts were produced in the same year. Enough pieces exist to satisfy demand in circulated and lesser Mint State grades, but Garrett and Guth caution that "These coins are a considerable rarity in gem grades," and the population data bear this out. The present Gem is crisply detailed with gorgeous wheat-gold luster. Its preservation and eye appeal are equally impressive. PCGS has graded 40 examples at the MS65 level and a mere 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
