1908 $20 St. Gaudens Gold Double Eagle No Motto MS-64 PCGS CAC
In 1908, the Philadelphia Mint produced a striking run of the twenty dollar gold piece, widely celebrated for its artistic grandeur. This particular version is notable for what is missing from its design: it does not carry the traditional religious motto. The absence of the inscription creates a remarkably clean field, allowing the central artistry to command full attention. This specific coin has been certified in Mint State 64 (MS-64) condition, indicating a well-preserved specimen that retains its original luster. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, it contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. The Philadelphia Mint struck a total of 4,271,551 of these double eagles in 1908, leaving behind a legacy of exquisite craftsmanship that continues to captivate those who study early twentieth-century coinage.
