1908 $20 No Motto, Wells Fargo MS68 PCGS. The Wells Fa
<B>1908<$20> No Motto, Wells Fargo MS68 PCGS.</B></I> The Wells Fargo Hoard stunned the world in the 1990s with its enormous amalgamation of top-quality 1908 No Motto Saint-Gaudens double eagles. The hoard comprised 19,900 pieces <I>in toto,</B></I> with Gems commonplace and an incredible 10 survivors grading MS69 by PCGS. As of this writing (9/06), PCGS has graded an even 100 pieces in MS68. As expected, the surfaces of this phenomenal piece are free of all but the most picayune evidence of contact. Like many examples, the fields of this piece are fine-grained and mattelike, with lovely luster emanating from the bronze-gold surfaces. The strike is bold on this essentially distraction-free example. One for a top-flight type or date collection.<BR><I>From The Hamburg-Sonoma Collection.</B></I>
