1908 NGC MS-67 $20 St. Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin - No Motto

1908 NGC MS-67 $20 St. Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin - No Motto

The U.S. Mint introduced the $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin in 1907 to replace the $20 Liberty Double Eagle.

The initial releases, struck in 1907 and during the first half of 1908, are referred to as “No Motto” coins because they do not feature the phrase “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the reverse, making them a distinct and historically significant variation.

These coins, in particular, are St. Gaudens Double Eagles produced in 1908 without the referred motto and submitted to NGC appraisal.

At SD Bullion, you acquire a 1908 $20 St. Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin—No Motto, graded as MS-67 by NGC.

The Design

The obverse reproduces Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty design, in which the feminine figure marches forward, representing national development. Her torch means enlightenment, and the olive branch is a peace symbol. 

It also displays the Capitol Building, which is discreetly imprinted on the lower left, the word “LIBERTY” arching over the image while the sun's rays work as a backdrop, and the year of issuance on the right.

The reverse design illustrates the bald eagle flying toward the sun. The inscriptions on this side are on top and read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “TWENTY DOLLARS.”

An NGC MS-67 coin

NGC stands for Numismatic Guaranty Company. It works independently from sovereign mints, attributing grades to coins based on the Sheldon Grading Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.

MS means Mint State and describes a coin with a business circulation coin format. 67 is the grade attributed to coins with sharp strikes with full, original luster, some minor contact marks, and a single, more noticeable but not detracting mark.
