1908-P $20 No Motto Gold Double Eagle (Rough Rider Hoard) PCGS MS63

The 1908-P 1908 $20 No Motto Gold Double Eagle (Rough Rider Hoard) PCGS MS63 represents one of the most storied entries in American numismatics, graded MS63 by PCGS and bearing the prestigious Rough Rider Hoard pedigree. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1908, this is the inaugural year of the No Motto Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle -- the first year the denomination was struck without the IN GOD WE TRUST motto, following President Theodore Roosevelt's directive to produce a coinage of classical beauty. The obverse, sculpted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, shows a full-length Lady Liberty striding confidently against a sunburst, torch raised high and olive branch extended. The reverse presents a powerful flying eagle above radiant rays, encircled by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWENTY DOLLARS. Containing 0. 9675 troy oz of gold, this coin carries a $20 face value and is a cornerstone piece of any advanced U. S. gold collection. The Rough Rider Hoard designation, highlighted on the bespoke PCGS label with a period portrait of Theodore Roosevelt, adds a layer of historical narrative that sets this example apart from the general certified population. Housed in a sealed PCGS holder with holographic security strip.
