There’s one more reason why the “No Motto” $20 Saint is an excellent value today. As many readers will recall, MS65 $20 Saints have commanded massive premiums over their melt value. For years, in fact, these coins traded for double or triple their melt value! ! In today’s market, however, Gem Uncirculated MS65s can be had for substantially less.
For perhaps 5% than more the cost of a more common With Motto coin, you can own the significantly rarer (and historically significant) 1908 No Motto issue.
These No Motto Saints are selling for below-average premiums, but they are far superior to lower graded versions in terms of quality. Each specimen displays booming satiny luster, an excellent strike, and outstanding eye appeal. PCGS and NGC will not certify a coin as MS65 unless it has outstanding surface preservation and aesthetics. This is why the MS65 grade is known as “Gem Uncirculated.”
Take advantage of this chance to own the historic 1908 No Motto Saint at compelling price levels. These gorgeous MS65 specimens are priced well below their peak premiums, thus providing you with solid future upside. As an owner of this coin, you stand to benefit from a rise in the price of gold and/or a jump in collector premium. In addition to profit potential, you’ll enjoy owning these stunning and storied coins.
