1866 Seated Dollar, MS64+
First-Year Motto Type Coin

1866 $1 Motto MS64+ PCGS. OC-1, R.2. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was added to the reverse of the silver dollar in 1866. Two proof coins are known without the motto, but for collectors this issue is only obtainable with the motto. Circulation-strike coinage amounted to only 48,900 pieces, plus 725 proofs that were distributed through silver proof sets. This high-end Choice business strike is an ideal type coin. Representing the first year of the Motto design, it is also exceptionally well-preserved. Seated dollars of 1866 are rare in MS64, and just a handful of finer pieces are known. Subtle reflectivity in the fields complements a complete lack of toning on each side. There is some strike weakness on Liberty's head and the adjacent stars, but the interior devices are well-defined. A loupe reveals stray hairlines and light marks in the obverse fields that prevent Gem classification but do not detract to the unaided eye. Population: 28 in 64 (3 in 64+), 8 finer (10/19).(Registry values: N4719)
