Notes:
"In
this year the 1908-O&S are the good dates, though the 1908-D which has
a high mintage is a sleeper. Collectors who have advanced through the
ranks of circulated coins will be surprised by the very low survivorship
in mint state of this latter issue."
Of these four, the 1908-D&S come
with the best strike and the 1908-O with the worst. All have nice luster,
but the 1908-S tends to be "brighter.""1
The finest
Uncirculated examples
graded by PCGS are 7 MS-67's.
