Description
1866-S Motto Eagle, AU55
Underrated S-Mint Rarity
1866-S $10 Motto AU55 NGC. The San Francisco Mint struck
both No Motto and Motto versions of the eagles and double eagles in
1866, with the No Motto coins likely released into circulation
before the Motto dies belatedly arrived. The 1866-S No Motto ten
gets the lion's share of attention compared to the Motto tens, as
does its more-famous twenty dollar sibling, but PCGS estimates only
60 to 80 Motto survivors, none of which are in Mint State. This
Choice About Uncirculated example is suitable for any advanced
eagle collection, with minimal abrasions or marks lovely
orange-gold eye appeal. Glints of original mint luster remain on
the well-defined surfaces. NGC reports only four numerically finer
examples (all graded AU58). Census: 14 in 55, 4 finer
(5/25).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264K, PCGS# 8650, Greysheet# 9467)
