Lot Description

Lovely honey-gold color blends with appealing mint luster on both sides of this attractively original example. The conditionally challenging 1908-D No Motto is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades despite a fairly generous mintage of 210,000 pieces. A little recognized fact about this issue is that it is the only branch mint Indian eagle with the mintmark positioned above the end of the branch on the reverse. For all other Denver and San Francisco mint issues of this type the mintmark is located in front of the arrow heads.
