No Motto 1908-D Twenty, MS66
Important Condition Rarity

1908-D $20 No Motto MS66 PCGS. This issue has an interesting history, one that has swung from one end of the rarity pendulum to the other. A generous mintage--two-thirds of a million coins--was produced, but most were exported soon afterward, and in time the issue became known as scarce. Rising gold coin prices in the late 20th century, however, led to the repatriation of many examples. Even though the issue today is still by far the scarcest of the No Motto issues, examples are frequently seen, most in the lower Mint State grades. Gem pieces are rare, and the present MS66 piece notably so. PCGS has certified only nine pieces at this grade level, with none finer (2/10).
Gorgeous cascading luster radiates from the orange-gold surfaces tinged with green at the rims. As expected, neither side reveals even the most minute distractions, and both sides show enormous eye appeal.(Registry values: N1)
