Indian Eagles
1908-D $10 Motto MS64 PCGS. Perhaps surprising to many collectors is the rarity of the 1908-D With Motto Indian ten in Choice and Gem condition, an issue that boasts a mintage in excess of 836,000 coins. In fact, all Mint State examples of this issue are scarcer than expected. Near-Gems are rare enough to attract significant attention at auction. This piece displays bold detail and satiny yellow-gold mint luster. A few light marks on Liberty's cheek prevent a Gem designation, although these are not bothersome to the naked eye. A finer 1908-D With Motto ten will be far out of reach for most enthusiasts. Population: 24 in 64, 22 finer (2/17).
