Magnificent 1908 No Motto Twenty, Approaching Perfection

1908 $20 No Motto MS 68 NGC. Here at Heritage we are privileged to see many great rarities and tremendous high grade coins, and sometimes we do not pause long enough to adequately admire some of these pieces. This example immediately grabs one's attention, and forces the viewer to admire its stunning beauty. The overall effect is breathtaking. Satiny orange-peel luster cascades from the surfaces and the strike is superb down to the last minute detail. One is required to inspect the surfaces carefully with a loupe in order to locate even the tiniest abrasions, and the number of these on each side could be counted on one hand. In a word, this coin is simply incredible, and we expect numerous bidders to agree and to compete for the privilege of owning this spectacular example. Population: 2 in 68, none finer (1/01).
