1866-S $20 NO MOTTO

Description

Rare 1866-S No Motto Twenty, A Problem-Free XF 45 Representative

1866-S $20 No Motto XF 45 PCGS. After the 1861-S Paquet, the 1866-S No Motto (120,000 pieces produced) is the rarest S-mint Liberty double eagle. Most known examples grade VF or below, and heavily abraded surfaces are the norm for this frontier issue. The present example, on the other hand, displays light wear across only the highest points of the design. The surfaces are partially frosted, and rich crimson-gold color leaves little doubt about this coin's originality. The scattered abrasions are not excessive for the grade or the issue.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
