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. Likewise, these same collectors will
have expected the 1908-O to be scarcer than an R3 in mint state.
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 example
graded by PCGS is a single MS-67.
