1866 With Motto Dollar, MS64
Colorful With Above-Average Eye Appeal

1866 $1 Motto, OC-1, R.2, MS64 PCGS. CAC. This near-Gem is a marvel, richly toned with blue-to-violet outer patina and peach-to-gold interiors with a more silvery influence on the well-frosted devices. At first glance, this superlative specimen could be mistaken for a proof, for it has great field-to-device contrast and readily apparent flashiness to the fields. Closer inspection, however, reveals that the mirror effect is not deep, particularly between the stripes of the shield, and the strike at upper obverse and lower reverse is far softer than that seen on proofs of the time. While 65% of examples of this date survive in AU or Mint State condition, the issue becomes rare at the Gem level, making this significantly above average near-Gem an excellent candidate for the specialist.
