Scarce Gem 1908-D Motto Twenty

1908-D $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. The Bowers double eagle Guide Book says of this issue, "Mint State coins can be obtained without difficulty in grades through MS-64, but MS-65 or finer pieces are rarities." The present Gem example offers splendid orange-gold color with finely grained matte-like surfaces. The bold strike has brought up the sometimes-weak obverse details near the rim and on Liberty's head, and there are no distracting abrasions. PCGS has graded 26 pieces finer (12/09).(Registry values: N2998)
