Choice AU 1866-S No Motto Five

1866-S $5 No Motto AU55 NGC. An elusive No Motto half eagle, one of only 9,000 pieces struck in this final year without IN GOD WE TRUST placed above the eagle.

This example is atypical and shows only slight friction and the expected severity of abrasions beneath a uniform reddish tint. Census: 2 in 55, 8 finer (12/08).(Registry values: P8)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VY, PCGS# 8300, Greysheet# 9044)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
