While this issue was always available in various grades, the numbers were altered considerably with the discovery of a large hoard of this particular date that was handled by our own Ron Gillio in the early 1990s. The hoard contained 19,900 double eagles, and they were of incredible quality. Apparently undisturbed since 1917 these bags of 1908 No Motto coins came to light and were named "The Wells Fargo Hoard" from the location where they were stored. The finest coins of this hoard offered unbelievable quality, many Superb Gems that otherwise would never have been available.
