Notes:
"1908-D&O have similar overall populations, but they
are very different in appearance. 1908-D comes with a decent strike and
luster and there are a high number of Gems and superb Gems graded. However 1908-O, which is often softly struck, comes with such nice surfaces and
luster that an incredible number of Gems and superb Gems are in the pop
reports."1
The finest examples graded
by PCGS are 4 MS-67's.
