The 1908 $20 St. Gaudens AU58 Motto gold coin is a rare and historically significant piece from the first full year of St. Gaudens coin production. While the ‘No Motto’ variety was minted extensively in 1908, the ‘Motto’ version saw only limited production towards the end of the year, resulting in just 156,280 coins minted in Philadelphia. This makes the ‘Motto’ variety significantly scarcer and highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.

With only 198 coins achieving the AU58 grade according to PCGS population figures, this 1908 $20 St. Gaudens AU58 Motto offers a unique opportunity to acquire a rare piece at an attractive price. This coin is a pleasing example with a strong overall appearance, making it a valuable addition to any collection. Offered at $2,675, it is competitively priced below the PCGS suggested retail price of $2,875, providing an excellent opportunity for gold investors to secure a scarce date at a historically favorable premium. The 1908 $20 St. Gaudens AU58 Motto rarity and exquisite design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens make this coin a must-have for discerning numismatists.
