1908 $10 No Motto MS66 NGC. Mint Engraver and Assistan
<B>1908 $10 No Motto MS66 NGC.</B></I> Mint Engraver and Assistant Engraver Charles Barber and George T. Morgan, respectively, retouched the master hub and die and made new working dies to better bring up the stars, date, and inscriptions, although still without the motto IN GOD WE TRUST that was added later in the year, per Congressional mandate. This beautiful Premium Gem coin shows deep, mellow orange-gold coloration, with fine-grained, mattelike surfaces that are essentially free of all but the most trivial contact marks on each side. The strike is sharp. NGC and PCGS combined have certified only 16 pieces in so high a grade, with nine coins finer (4/07). This lovely coin is the kind of enduring numismatic acquisition that will never need upgrading, as one of the cornerstones of a fine U.S. gold type set. Census: 10 in 66, 6 finer (4/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
