详细说明

A visually stunning example with exceptionally smooth surfaces for a survivor of this challenging 20th century gold type. Fully struck with intricate detail to all devices, both sides also display intense mint luster in a lively satin texture. Bathed in a blend of golden-apricot and lighter honey colors, this smooth and inviting premium Gem would serve with distinction in even the finest Indian eagle set.<p>In general, the 1908 Motto issue is not that difficult to obtain. The mintage of 341,486 pieces suffered the usual mass meltings in later years, and today there are perhaps three to four percent of the original mintage around. This is one of the more common issues in the series, although it is certainly much less often seen in Gem condition than the 1907 No Periods and the 1926 and 1932 issues.
