1866 Motto Seated Liberty Dollar, MS64
Undesignated Prooflike Fields, Rainbow Iridescence

1866 $1 Motto MS64 PCGS. CAC. OC-1, R.2. Osburn-Cushing Die State b/c. The 1866 OC-1 Seated dollar is ranked number 15 in Osburn-Cushing's Top 30 Variety listing, based on its repunched date and doubled die reverse. The date is noticeably repunched on the 1 and slightly repunched on the 8. Sharp die doubling on the motto is most visible at WE and present throughout IN GOD WE TRUST. Although the 1866 is generally more available than its Civil War-era predecessors, it is scarce at the near-Gem grade level and rare any finer.

This is a colorfully toned Choice Uncirculated example with iridescent rainbow shades throughout both sides. The fields are decidedly prooflike beneath the attractive toning, while faint die cracks on the obverse and reverse indicate a late die stage. Only a few minor ticks and abrasions exist on the coin when viewed under magnification. We note a tiny reeding mark near Liberty's shin and a small mark near star 9, both of which are shallow, small, and of little concern. The strike is quite sharp throughout, including the upper obverse at Liberty's head and the surrounding stars. CAC endorsed, with surfaces suggestive of an even finer numeric grade. Population: 23 in 64 (2 in 64+), 8 finer (10/17).(Registry values: N4719)
