Lot Description

As the first Denver Mint Indian eagle, the 1908-D is also the only No Motto issue from this branch mint and the only Indian eagle with the mintmark positioned above the end of the olive branch on the reverse. The mintmark on all other Denver and San Francisco coins is below the end of the olive branch in front of the arrow heads. A mintage of 210,000 pieces is relatively generous by Indian eagle standards, but the 1908-D No Motto is actually one of the rarest issues in this series in finer Mint State grades. Most Mint State survivors grade MS-60 to MS-63, at which levels this issue is fairly scarce. As a solid Select Uncirculated example with pretty colors in vivid rose-gold and pale powder blue, this coin represents a significant find for 20th century gold enthusiasts.
