Description

1866 Double Eagle, MS62
First Year of the With Motto Twenties

1866 $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. This large mintage of nearly 700,000 pieces is quite popular as the first Philadelphia Mint issue of the With Motto type, the new design introduced shortly after the end of the Civil War and including the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, which had already appeared on the two cent piece. This example offers softly frosted mint luster over surfaces that show attractive apricot-gold color and a good strike overall. A few minor scrapes in the lower obverse field near stars 1-3 are consistent with the grade. With the CAC approval, this piece is among the few finest known. Population: 5 in 62, 1 finer (1/14).(Registry values: N4719)

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