Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1908 $20 Motto MS65 NGC. Less than five percent of double eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint in 1908 went into the relatively scarce With Motto design, while the great majority of the pieces were the earlier produced, No Motto variety. Mint State With Motto survivors can be obtained without too much difficulty up to and including MS63, but there is a progressive decline in numbers above that level. Gems are decidedly scarce. This beautiful matte-like representative is bathed in uniform reddish patina and displays far fewer abrasions than are normally seen, none being of any real consequence. Census: 21 in 65 (1 in 65+), 10 finer (10/16).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 12/2005), lot 1910.
