1866-S Motto Twenty Dollar, MS62
Spectacular Quality for the Grade
Colorful Accents

1866-S $20 Motto MS62 PCGS Secure. Small Bulbous S. Similar to the Small Squat S but apparently much rarer. Substantial quantities of the new Motto double eagles were stuck at the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints during the latter part of 1866. The 1866-S Motto is slightly more accessible overall, but it is scarcer in Mint State. This MS62 actually ranks among the finest representatives at PCGS and NGC combined. Frosty orange and lavender-gold surfaces are clearly clean for the assessment, lacking any serious abrasions save for a mark in the left obverse field. Mint luster is undisturbed, and the strike is nearly full. A spectacular example at this grade level or any other. Population: 8 in 62 (2 in 62+), 0 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N7079)
