Lot 2649
1908 $20 St. Gaudens. With motto. NGC graded MS-66 Star. A lovely frosty gem. Not to be confused with the often seen No Motto variety of 1908, this much more desired With Motto sings its own praises by offering splendidly lustrous surfaces. In reference to these, both sides of this orange-gold example exhibit oscillating cartwheel effects. Further, substantial detail to the highpoints on this fine example point to a much better than average strike, with a thorough and effectual imprint from the dies; there are no weak areas left after the recoil of the dies, none whatsoever. Tied with one other for finest graded at either service. A coin for the collector who wants who wants the finest. Pop 2; none finer.
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
