Description

1866 Motto Double Eagle, MS61
Frosty With Rose and Green Accents

1866 $20 Motto MS61 PCGS. CAC. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was introduced in 1866, creating a second subtype in the series. The Type Two issues, of which this is the first, are seldom found above MS62 and generally feature heavy abrasions and soft central strike definition. This CAC-approved MS61 coin is remarkably attractive for the date and type. Pale rose and green accents grace orange-gold surfaces. Thick mint frost radiates from each side, and scattered grazes are minimal. Even Liberty's curls and the eagle's feathers are relatively crisp. Certainly worth a premium bid. Population: 42 in 61, 12 finer. CAC: 11 in 61, 2 finer (3/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269X, PCGS# 8949, Greysheet# 9803)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
