Description: 1908 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle No Motto NGC MS67 Wells Fargo Hoard Super Gem This beautiful coin was graded over 20 years ago by NGC. A premium quality Saint like no other 1908 $20 No Motto, Wells Fargo Nevada, MS67 NGC Ex: Wells Fargo Nevada Gold. The 1908 No Motto Saint-Gaudens double eagle is the most plentiful date for the type, ideal for collectors seeking a single high-grade. Many Superb Gem examples known came from the Wells Fargo Hoard, including the current piece. Orange-gold luster and satiny shimmers adorn the fields, while abrasions are largely nonexistent. Strike sharpness is pleasing and above average quality. A lovely example of this classic type issue from the earliest years of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. Fully frosted with vivid rose to golden-apricot color, the surfaces are exceptionally smooth and well deserving of the Superb Gem rating from PCGS. While this issue was always available in various grades, a large hoard of this particular date was discovered, that was handled by Ron Gillio in the early 1990s. The hoard contained 19,900 double eagles, and they were of incredible quality. Apparently undisturbed since 1917, these bags of 1908 No Motto coins were named "The Wells Fargo Hoard" from the location where they were stored. The finest coins of this hoard offered unbelievable quality with many Superb Gems that otherwise would never have been available. Although not pedigreed as such on the PCGS holder, this beautiful coin was likely part of that remarkable find. The design of the double eagle was modified part way through the year in 1908, to include the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse. This made the short-lived No Motto version a popular two-year design type. Guaranteed Genuine by NGC Capstonecoins.com Austin TX 78717
