Lot 3560
1908 $20 St. Gaudens. No motto. NGC graded MS-67. Star. Nice light even gold toning. A nice original coin. Terrific detail from a very clear-cut strike and a true "star" attraction for the connoisseur where quality is king in today's market; this sort of perfection is what collectors like better to see than wishy-washy detail and lifeless mint bloom. As an added benefit, the fields are a lovely warm golden color. When all is said and done, it is not easy to find such freedom from bagmarks or other impairment. So too crisp definition on the main devices counts for a lot. The photos show, the coin offers the prospective bidder mathematically exact standards, making this the definitive '08 No Motto double eagle in its grade. Pop 9; 13 finer in 68 (PCGS # 9142) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
