Description
1866 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR66
First Year With Motto
1866 $1 Motto PR66 NGC. OC-P2. Only 725 proof Seated Liberty
dollars were struck in 1866, the first year of the Motto design.
Two proofs are known with the No Motto reverse, but most
numismatists believe they were struck as numismatic delicacies at a
later date. Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing have identified two proof
die varieties for the 1866 With Motto production. This coin
represents the OC-P2 variety, with the date placed further to the
right and a die line under GOD in the motto. The obverse was also
used on the extremely rare No Motto variety of this date, while the
hardy reverse was used to strike at least one proof variety of each
year from 1866 to 1870.The present coin is a delightful Premium Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and deeply reflective fields, under vivid shades of greenish-gold and cerulean-blue toning. The well-preserved surfaces are free of mentionable distractions and overall eye appeal is tremendous. Census: 6 in 66 (1 in 66 ★ ), 2 finer (4/16).
