Gem 1908 Motto Double Eagle

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. While the No Motto double eagles of 1908 are readily available in high grades today, thanks to the Wells Fargo hoard, the much lower-mintage Motto twenties of the same year are far more elusive. Gems are borderline condition rarities and anything finer easily qualifies; PCGS has certified just 10 such pieces (11/09). This marvelous MS65 survivor offers strong wheat-gold luster and pleasing overall definition, though the torch and the hand holding it show slight striking softness. The central devices are clean for the grade, though a number of small ticks appear on the surrounding rays.
