Outstanding 1908-D Motto Twenty, MS66

1908-D $20 Motto MS66 PCGS. The 1908-D Motto is a scarce and all-too-often overlooked early issue in the Saint-Gaudens series. This issue was struck after August 1, following a law passed by Congress that mandated that IN GOD WE TRUST be added to all newly minted gold coins. At the same time the motto was added to the hub, the detail on the master hub was also strengthened, resulting in sharper definition than seen on the No Motto coins of this year. Surprisingly few high grade examples of the 1908-D Motto are known, in spite of the discovery of a quality hoard in Central America. This is an especially attractive coin whose surfaces are softly frosted, slightly reddish with a tinge of lilac, and free from any noticeable abrasions. The striking details are strong throughout. Population: 25 in 66, 3 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
