- A Remarkable Second EF 1866-S No Motto $20 1866-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. No Motto. EF-40 (PCGS). This handsome example features warm honey-gold surfaces with rose iridescence and deeper gold at the highest points. The strike is suitably bold in most areas and there are no areas of significant distraction. Given the rarity and key date status of the 1866-S No Motto double eagle, this coin is worthy of careful bidder consideration. Famed as one of the rarest San Francisco Mint double eagles of this type, the 1866-S No Motto has long been in demand. Almost all survivors are circulated, and few possess the originality and quality seen here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8945. NGC ID: 269W.
