Owner Comments:
This is one of the scarcer issues in the series, which Akers rates an R-4 in MS-63 (though overall he ranks it 31st out of 54). When the motto was added in 1908, the details on the master hub were strengthened resulting in most 1908 With Motto Saints being much more sharp in detail than their bretheren without mottos. Like most examples, this coin exhibits pleasing yet subdued luster and a more granular surface with a nice orange-green gold tone. This issue was once considered an extremely underrated issue until 1983 when a hoard of several hundred pieces were discovered in Central America. Overall a very pleasing addition to my set!
