1908-D. No Motto. PCGS graded MS-63.
Light golden
toning with attractive surfaces that have minimal bagmarks.
The strike is bold and the eye appeal strong throughout. This
date and mint is quite difficult to obtain in gem or finer grades,
so most collectors seek a handsome choice example like this to
represent this issue.

Lovely rich golden toning with exceptional surfaces.
Should be regraded as the MS-65 grade does not seem to
do full justice to the quality of this amazing coin. Notice the
full blazing luster and undiminished surfaces that support the
classic orange-gold hue. Liberty’s face, neck and cheek are all
exceptionally clean. A delight for the specialist!

Lovely golden toning. Looks Mint State and just
missed that level by a hint of wear. This is a scarce, low mint-
age issue that is always in strong collector demand
