Description

1866 Double Eagle, MS61
First With Motto Issue

1866 $20 Motto MS61 PCGS. The first year of the Liberty Head Motto design saw a mintage of 698,745 coins at the Philadelphia Mint. Most examples were exported and subsequently melted, and those that survive are often circulated to some extent. Mint State representatives prove challenging. This is a bright, softly frosted MS61 example with strong detail throughout. Bagmarks are in line with the grade. Population: 50 in 61, 14 finer (7/24).(Registry values: N4719)
