<B>1908<$20> No Motto, Wells Fargo MS68 PCGS.</B></I> Many statistics about the quality of the Wells Fargo Hoard pieces exist, but few capture the mind-bending properties of the group better than this one. According to the <I>Population Report,</B></I> PCGS has awarded a grade of MS68 to an even 100 pieces of Wells Fargo gold. Among examples of this issue that do not have the Wells Fargo pedigree, how many have received the MS68 designation? Just one (9/06).<BR> The bold details and attractive luster of this piece are hallmarks of the hoard, but the surfaces are exceptionally clean, even by the standards of Wells Fargo gold. The few faults are minuscule; a tiny portion of Liberty's robe is not fully struck up, and a tiny, shallow mark appears below Liberty's right (facing) arm. Salmon and orange accents on the yellow-gold fields add even more eye appeal to this delightful coin.<BR><I>From The Hamburg-Sonoma Collection.</B></I>
