1866-S No Motto Twenty, AU50
Only 12,000 Pieces Estimated Struck

1866-S $20 No Motto AU50 PCGS. Small S. The No Motto variant of the 1866-S twenty is the second rarest S-mint double eagle. Most are VF to XF, and AU examples are seldom encountered. Only 175 to 200 pieces are believed extant in all grades. An estimated that only 12,000 pieces were struck, all in February of 1866, from the previous year's reverse that lacked the new motto. This is an evenly worn example that displays faint outlines of mint luster around the devices on each side. Numerous small abrasions are peppered across both obverse and reverse, but none are worthy of singular mention. Population: 16 in 50, 30 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269W, PCGS# 8945, Greysheet# 9906)
