Description
1908-D Double Eagle, MS66
With Motto, Clean and Vibrant
1908-D $20 Motto MS66 NGC. The 1908-D Motto double eagle
survives to the extent of about 5,500 coins in all grades,
according to Roger Burdette (2018). All but 350 pieces or so are in
grades of MS64 or lower. The issue becomes conditionally scarce at
the Premium Gem level and proves nearly uncollectible in MS67.
There are merely four coins numerically finer than this one at PCGS
and two at NGC (12/25). The present coin is a spectacular Premium
Gem. The fields are exceptionally clean and impressively vibrant on
both sides. Satin luster melds with rich orange-gold color to
deliver an almost as-struck appearance, and a sharp strike
heightens the effect.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26F9, PCGS# 9148, Greysheet# 10160)
