Description
1908 Indian Eagle. Motto. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
A boldly struck, fully lustrous example bathed in richly original deep golden-orange color. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST returned to the design of the eagle in 1908 by order of Congress, which acted over the protests of Theodore Roosevelt in this area. The president originally demanded that the motto be left out of the Saint-Gaudens design because he felt that the use of a deity's name on money was blasphemy. The Philadelphia Mint's premier circulation strike of the Motto design, the 1908 was produced to the extent of 341,370 pieces. Mint State survivors are relatively obtainable by the standards of this series, although most are in lower grades than that offered here. An attractive coin worthy of the strongest bids.
PCGS# 8859. NGC ID: 28GJ.
From the Fairmont Collection - Mont Blanc Set.
Estimate: $4000
