Description

1866-S Motto Twenty, High-End MS61+
Flashy Surfaces

1866-S $20 Motto MS61+ NGC. Small squat S. Although well over 840,000 examples of this With Motto issue were produced, most circulated extensively. Few survive today in anything close to Uncirculated condition. This MS61+ NGC piece is a bold exception to the rule, showing flashy surfaces that seem finer for the grade. Generous luster appears throughout both sides amid excellent overall preservation; a small patch of pinscratches beneath UNI on the reverse is inconsequential. The strike is uniformly full on both sides as well, and Liberty's cheek is free of mentionable contact. An excellent coin for the grade. Census: 19 in 61 (1 in 61+), 3 finer (11/15).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269Y, PCGS# 8950, Greysheet# 9907)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
