- Perennially Popular 1908 No Motto Double Eagle 1908 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. No Motto. MS-67 (PCGS). A lovely example of this classic type issue from the earliest years of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. Fully frosted with vivid rose to golden-apricot color, the surfaces are exceptionally smooth and well deserving of the Superb Gem rating from PCGS. While this issue was always available in various grades, a large hoard of this particular date was discovered, that was handled by Ron Gillio in the early 1990s. The hoard contained 19,900 double eagles, and they were of incredible quality. Apparently undisturbed since 1917, these bags of 1908 No Motto coins were named "The Wells Fargo Hoard" from the location where they were stored. The finest coins of this hoard offered unbelievable quality with many Superb Gems that otherwise would never have been available. Although not pedigreed as such on the PCGS holder, this beautiful coin was likely part of that remarkable find. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. PCGS# 9142. NGC ID: 26F6.
