1908'S' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated and an absolute beauty. This chisel-sharp, velvet-like jewel is immersed in abundantly luxuriant mint bloom. The design features are virtually defect-free, and the fields are extraordinarily smooth for a coin of this fragile, unprotected type. We need not remind prospective bidders of the effort required in obtaining higher quality examples of this low mintage issue (only 82,000 were coined). Any Mint State survivor certainly can be considered to be extremely scarce. Premium quality Gems such as the presently offered coin are quite rare and in all likelihood number only 30-40 pieces at or above this condition level. PCGS MS66.
