Elusive Gem 1908-D Motto Double Eagle

1908-D $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. Apricot and olive-gray hues encompass this satiny and lightly abraded Gem. The strike is full on the Capitol building and Liberty's face, two areas that are often indistinct on the popular Saint-Gaudens type. Although the 1908-D Motto is collected with little effort in the MS62 through MS64 grades, MS65 examples are undeniably scarce.(Registry values: N2998)
