Description
1866 Motto Seated Dollar, MS65
Elusive Gem Example
1866 $1 Motto MS65 NGC. OC-1, R.2. Osburn-Cushing Die State
a/b. This coin is bathed in deep gunmetal blue and russet toning
throughout, with the deeper hues in the fields closest to the
devices, and lighter russet tones in the open areas of the fields.
The strike is better than average, although some of the obverse
stars don't quite show their full central radial lines and a couple
of the tiny hair curls on Liberty are not fully rounded as seen on
proofs of this era. First year of issue with the added motto IN GOD
WE TRUST on the reverse. Seated silver dollars are quite elusive in
full Gem Uncirculated, with this 1866 being no exception. In fact,
the combined NGC and PCGS population reports note four coins graded
this high with another eight examples seen finer. This particular
coin is identifiable by a tiny tick on Liberty's right arm just
opposite of her elbow, and on the reverse by a minor tick near the
lowest arrowhead. A beautiful and classical silver dollar that
would make a welcome addition to even the most advanced
collection.Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 10247.(Registry values: N7079)
