Liberty Double Eagles
1866 $20 Doubled Motto, FS-801, AU55 PCGS. CAC. The N in IN is widely repunched. The R in TRUST is lightly repunched north. 1866 was the first year that IN GOD WE TRUST appeared on double eagles. Due to its remote location, San Francisco struck both Motto and No Motto varieties. Philadelphia struck only Motto examples, but it appears that the Motto was added by hand (instead of hubbed) for at least one of the reverse dies. This is a charming Choice AU example with pumpkin-gold color and no mentionable marks.
