<B>1908-D $10 No Motto MS64 PCGS.</B></I> The 1908-D ten dollar is significant for a few reasons, but perhaps the most notable is the fact that it is the only Denver Mint eagle ever struck without the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse. President Roosevelt's decision in 1907 to eliminate the motto on the new Saint-Gaudens gold coinage was met with much public disdain. By the end of May 1908 Congress had passed a bill entitled "Public Law No. 120" which called for the restoration of the motto on certain denominations of gold and silver coins of the United States (Burdette, 2006). This is a splendid, high-end example that lacks the marks one would expect from an MS64. The mint luster is thick and frosted with a noticeable trace of red surrounding the reverse margin. Population: 31 in 64, 7 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
