Offered is a monumental Superb Gem example of a popular and eagerly sought classic Sandblast Proof gold rarity. Bold mustard-gold color on both sides, the surfaces nicely exhibit the coarse grain finish for which this issue is known. The strike is full with razor sharp detail to even the most intricate design elements. The level of preservation is likewise outstanding with no "shiny spots" (read: breaks in the finish due to marks) or other detracting blemishes.<p>The 1908 is the first regular issue Sandblast Proof in this series, and it was produced after the Mint added the Motto by order of Congress. The mintage was 101 pieces, a generous total that demonstrates the Mint's optimism for strong sales due to the debut of this new design. Most examples did sell, but no more than 60 or 70 coins are believed extant in all grades. The present example, one of the highest graded to also meet with CAC approval, is a highlight of the 20th century gold offerings in this sale and would make a significant addition to any advanced cabinet.
