Rare Premium Gem 1908 With Motto Twenty

1908 $20 Motto MS66 NGC. This is a lovely and conditionally elusive representative of the 1908 With Motto double eagle. The most obvious comparison to this issue is with its counterpart, the 1908 No Motto, which has a mintage figure of nearly 4.3 million pieces and is one of the most common dates in the Saint-Gaudens series. In contrast, the 1908 With Motto version has a low mintage of just 156,258 coins, and a low survival rate in high grades. The current specimen seems eminently qualified for its MS66 grade designation, with virtually unmarked surfaces, soft frosted luster, and alluring light greenish-gold and pale rose coloration. A well struck and marvelously preserved example. Census: 12 in 66, 0 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N1)
