Liberty Double Eagles
1866-S $20 Motto AU55 PCGS. Much of the original luster persists despite light, even wear. The usual handling marks are present on the yellow-gold surfaces, and the strike is typical. Yet this mildly circulated coin has many factors in its favor. It is from the first issue of the Motto variety, and only a low number of survivors is known in all grades. Most of these are VF or lower as well, compounding the general difficulty with the added stress of a conditionally elusive issue. Population: 53 in 55 (1 in 55+), 53 finer (9/17).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2006), lot 3227.
