Wonderful 1866 Motto Half Eagle, AU55

1866 $5 AU55 NGC. In 1866, reverse dies for the half eagles and eagles were modified to include a ribbon with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. This was the only major design change in the 70-year history of the Liberty half eagles. Issues of the mid- and late-1860s are generally characterized by low mintage and low survival. This example is boldly detailed and it exhibits exceptional yellow-gold luster with smooth surfaces. Census: 13 in 55, 23 finer (7/08).(Registry values: P3)
