Description

1866-S Double Eagle, Motto, MS61
Elusive Type Two Twenty in Mint State
Sole CAC Coin at This Grade

1866-S $20 Motto MS61 PCGS. CAC. This is the first San Francisco Type Two double eagle issue, and like other S-mints in the subtype, it is a relatively common coin in the lower to midrange circulated grades. At the AU55 level it is distinctly scarce, and Mint State coins are considerable condition rarities. This MS61 example has ample yellow-gold luster and a slightly dusky appearance overall, with coppery areas on Liberty's hair behind the coronet and along the rims. Although moderately abraded, this is a coin of natural surfaces and considerable visual appeal. CAC endorsement confirms the original, above-average surfaces and strong eye appeal. The finest at either PCGS or NGC grades MS62. Population: 18 in 61, 8 finer. CAC: 1 in 61, 0 finer (11/19).
