Lot Description

1908-D Indian Eagle. Motto. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Pale honey-rose patina blends with soft satin luster on both sides of this pleasingly original coin. Sharply struck with overall smooth surfaces that are strongly suggestive of an even higher grade. With 836,500 pieces produced, the 1908-D Motto boasts one of the highest mintages among circulation strike Indian eagles. It is far from the most common issue of this type, however, although enough low end Mint State coins are extant to satisfy demand from less discerning collectors. Few examples are certified finer than the basal MS-63 level, this beautiful example representing the finest realistically obtainable as far as most gold enthusiasts are concerned. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 3; 50 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 8860. NGC ID: 28GK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
