Liberty Double Eagles
1866 $20 Doubled Motto, FS-801, AU55 PCGS. For a brief period of time, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST was hand-punched into the working dies until new master dies were prepared. It was tricky business for the die sinker to properly align the lettering. This Cherrypickers' variety is perhaps the most spectacular example of hand-punching the motto. The N is repunched widely, with lesser repunching of the G, E, R, and U. This medium-gold example is lightly abraded with slight wear on Liberty's hair and good remaining mint luster.
