1866 With Motto Five Dollar, AU50
Important Condition Rarity

1866 $5 AU50 PCGS. The 1866 is important not only as the first year of the With Motto reverse, but it is also a rarity in its own right. Only 6,700 pieces were struck and the usually seen piece is VF-XF. AU examples, such as this one are decidedly scarce and the handful of Uncirculated coins that have been certified are prohibitively rare. Most AU coins show prooflike fields, and this one has subdued reflectivity from slight handling while in circulation. The striking details are strong throughout and there are small, inoffensive abrasions scattered over each side that are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P3)
