1866-S $20 NO MOTTO

Description

1866-S No Motto XF 45. Lustrous, with original, coppery-red toning in the protected areas on both sides. Even though their mintages are similar, the No Motto 1866-S double eagle is considerably scarcer than the With Motto version. This is born out by the data provided by PCGS and NGC as of 4/94. Further, the 1866-S No Motto has yet to be certified in mint state by either service. The finest graded by PCGS so far is a single AU 50, NGC also shows a lone AU 50 as the finest graded by them. Thus, this pleasing example ranks as one of the finest examples known of the issue.
