- 1908 Indian Eagle. Motto. MS-64 (PCGS). Charming frosty surfaces exhibit hints of rose-orange iridescence over a base of medium gold patina. Sharply struck with eye appeal to spare. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST returned to the design of the eagle in 1908 by order of Congress, which acted over the protests of Theodore Roosevelt in this area. The president originally demanded that the motto be left out of the Saint-Gaudens design because he felt that the use of a deity's name on money was blasphemy. The Philadelphia Mint's premier circulation strike of the Motto design, the 1908 was produced to the extent of 341,370 pieces. Mint State survivors are relatively obtainable by the standards of this conditionally challenging series, although most are in lower grades than that offered here. A premium near-Gem worthy of the strongest bids. PCGS# 8859. NGC ID: 28GJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
