1908-D Indian Eagle. No Motto. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC.
This is a lovely Mint State 1908-D No Motto eagle. Both sides are fully lustrous and display delightful vivid rose-honey color and a softly frosted finish. The strike is suitably bold for the issue, with the reverse sharply defined throughout and the obverse with a touch of characteristic softness to the central high points. With its strong eye appeal, this coin is sure to find its way into a high quality collection of 20th century United States gold. 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 scarcer issues in this series in Mint State preservation.
