1908 No Motto Saint Gaudens Double Eagle. . Choice AU.
From the Dr. Jay M. Galst Collection.
This "No Motto" variety of the St. Gaudens Double Eagle is common in grades up through mint state. This is a logical date choice for type collectors. The present coin is well struck, lustrous, and free of any distracting marks, other than a light bag mark in the right field of the obverse. As collectors of this series know, contact marks are so common that even at the MS65 level a coin can have many of them. This coin, although just missing the MS mark due to light rub on the high points, is really rather more attractive than many coins in MS holders. A nice opportunity to acquire an attractive coin at an AU price point.
