Liberty Double Eagles
1866-S $20 Motto MS61 NGC. Although significantly more plentiful than its No Motto counterpart, the 1866-S With Motto double eagle is no common date in high grade. Uncirculated examples are rarely seen and are largely clustered in the MS60 and MS61 grades, with none finer than MS62. We have handled an Uncirculated representative of the date on just 17 previous occasions, only two of which were coins that graded finer than the present MS61 example. This piece displays frosty yellow-gold luster that produces a radiant cartwheel effect. The strike is sharp, and grade-limiting abrasions are uniformly distributed over each side. The 1866-S double eagle is seen in this condition so rarely that the specialist should not let the present coin pass by. Census: 19 in 61 (1 in 61+), 3 finer (11/16).
