Description
The 1908 St. Gaudens Double Eagle - No Motto is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. The U.S. Mint produced 4.3 million examples, making this the highest mintage among 5 variants, accounting for 78% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design and the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. Coins exist both "No Motto" and "With Motto" (IN GOD WE TRUST), creating a major type distinction after Congress mandated the motto's restoration. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $4.9K to $5.3K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9142.
