1908 $20 No Motto, Wells Fargo Nevada, MS68 PCGS. Ex: Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo Hoard, which contained about 19,000 1908 No Motto double eagles, was the origin of most high-grade examples known of this issue. The present coin, in MS68, is among the finer pieces from this hoard, surpassed only by the 10 Wells Fargo coins that PCGS graded MS69. Luster is satiny with rich orange-gold color and nearly flawless surfaces. Eye appeal is outstanding, complemented by well-struck devices. Each side produces appreciable luminance typical of Saint-Gaudens double eagles in Superb Gem condition. Few issues in this series are collectible in MS68.(Registry values: P1)
