Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1908 $20 No Motto, Wells Fargo Nevada, MS67 PCGS. Ex: Wells Fargo Nevada Gold. Short Rays Obverse. The famous Wells Fargo Hoard remains the single largest hoard of U.S. gold coins ever discovered. Most of the 1908 No Motto double eagles had the Short Rays Obverse that was carried over from the 1907 master die. Such coins were typically less-sharp than later-issued Long Rays Obverse coins. The present Short Rays Superb Gem is crisply struck with only minor weakness at the nose, knee, and stars. Bright mint luster rolls across the vibrant orange-gold surfaces with no significant marks of note. The overall quality is exceptional, with eye appeal that suggests an even finer grade.
