Description

1866-S Motto Eagle, AU55
Underrated S-Mint Rarity

1866-S $10 Motto AU55 NGC. Both 1866-S eagles, with and without IN GOD WE TRUST, are important low-mintage rarities. Those struck after the motto was instated claim a mintage of 11,500 coins -- 3,000 more than the No Motto coins. PCGS provides a survival estimate of 60 to 80 Motto eagles. This is an example of nearly unsurpassed quality. Partly lustrous peach-gold surfaces retain good detail over the devices despite minimal circulation. Each side exhibits myriad abrasions, typical for the issue. Census: 7 in 55, 2 finer (11/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264K, PCGS# 8650, Greysheet# 9467)
