Very nice. If it wasn't for the darkened areas on the forearm, abdomen and knee I think it's easily 65+. One of my favorite designs. Head and shoulders better than the Liberty design that preceeded it.

Beautiful coin and looks like the right grade... It could be the picture/lighting, but the reverse looks much better. Big gold, my favorite.... Cheers, RickO
She's got a good look, with clean obverse fields and nothing more than light chatter marks from what I can tell. Looks all there, and higher end for the grade. Nice!

Nice pick-up
Pop 802/170 and looks to be on the the very high end of MS64. (yes I agree with JA on this one )
I'd send that one in for a recon and see if I could pick up a + & a TV.
Always liked the motto 08 (P,D or S) over the NM.
If you do get a TrueView...I'd like to see it.
BTW...They are very hard on grading 1908 mottos for some reason. Not so much on NM.
If that was a NM, it could possibly/maybe be a 65
All this you probably know.

The front is just as nice, but extremely hard to photograph.

edited to add: I expected the darker obverse tone to be an artifact of that lighting angle. I'm now at "grade-typical marks" with the same eye-appeal rating The texture of the frost is very different on the With Mottos than it is on the earlier '08s. The Wells Fargo coins are clean, frosty and singularly unexciting to look at compared to virtually any other date in the series, even in MS68 and (unseen, but likely) MS69.

That video captures the mint frost in a way that the photo couldn't. Looks good.
I've bought several Saints in PCGS 64/CAC over the last few years. There's been very little premium to bullion (until lately it seems) and the CAC'd 64s are nice coins. Especially when you see some of the ratty-looking non-CAC 65s out there.

Kinda hard to not like a big hunk of lustrous gold with a nice design
Thanks.

My favorite type of Saint outside High Reliefs. Nice coin, congrats!

Can't complain about that. The reverse looks fantastic. No nasty cuts across any of the rays on either side.
