Liberty Double Eagles
1866 $20 Motto AU53 PCGS. The initial With Motto double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint came with a healthy mintage of nearly 700,000 coins, but no large quantities of the date were saved in Mint State for collectors. Uncirculated coins, when found, are costly and often show heavy abrasions. This collectible AU representative is well-detailed and offers original olive-gold patina with hints of peach luster in the fields. When tilted beneath a light, subtle hints of reflectivity emerge.
