Gem 1908 Twenty With Great Luster and Color

1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. Ex: Brahin. Against the objections of President Theodore Roosevelt, Congress voted to restore the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to national gold coinage beginning in 1908. This is the first year of the new design with 46 tiny stars around the obverse border. Although most type collectors are content with a single coin to illustrate the With Motto design, detail-oriented collectors realize that two coins are necessary. In 1912, two additional stars were added to the obverse to represent the last of the continental United States, New Mexico and Arizona. This is a sharply struck Gem with brilliant honey-gold and lilac colored luster and pristine surfaces. It is elusive in Gem quality, and only a few finer examples have been certified by PCGS. Population: 41 in 65, 10 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N7079)
