This example has been graded MS64 by PCGS, placing it among high-grade survivors with strong luster and minimal contact marks for the series. The “No Motto” variety, lacking the inscription “In God We Trust,” was struck only briefly in 1907–1908 before public pressure led to the motto’s reinstatement. Its limited run gives it a special place in U.S. gold coinage history, making it a sought-after type coin.
