Stunning 1908-D Motto Double Eagle
MS66, Ex: Duckor

1908-D $20 Motto MS66 PCGS Secure. Simply astounding quality for this first-year Motto double eagle issue, underrated because of the low mintage of its San Francisco counterpart but highly elusive above the Gem level. Yellow-orange surfaces are faintly frosted, and the details are well-impressed. Shallow marks in the rays below the eagle contribute to the grade but have minimal impact on the overall eye appeal. A remarkable representative that is just one point shy of the magnificent MS67 Eliasberg/Duckor specimen previously offered by Heritage. Population: 25 in 66, 3 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26F9, PCGS# 9148, GSID# 10160)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
Mintage: 349,500
