Losbeschreibung

1908-D Indian Eagle. Motto. MS-64 (PCGS). An attractive example of this transitional type with radiant yellow-gold surfaces and hints of rose iridescence scattered throughout. Sharply struck and notably smooth across the fields. Initially, when the No Motto Denver Mint coins were struck, the D mintmark was very broad and boldfaced, and located above the leaves of the branch at the same angle as the rim in that area. When the Motto was added, the mintmark placement was lowered to near the end of the fasces below the leaves, where it remained for the duration of the series. Enough low end Mint State 1908-D Motto eagles are extant to satisfy demand from less discerning collectors. However, very few examples are certified finer than MS-63, this beautiful example representing the finest realistically obtainable as far as most gold enthusiasts are concerned. PCGS# 8860.
