Description

Condition Rarity 1908-D Motto Twenty Dollar, MS 65 PCGS

1908-D $20 Motto MS 65 PCGS. Prior to the discovery of a sizeable hoard in 1983, the 1908-D Motto was one of the premier rarities in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series above the BU grade level. Today, this issue is relatively obtainable through the MS 64 level of preservation, but Gems are still elusive. This richly frosted example is crisply detailed with minimal granularity for the issue. Orange-gold in color, the surfaces are free of all but the most trivial distractions.
