Losbeschreibung

1866-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. Motto. AU-50 (NGC). An appreciably lustrous, overall boldly defined example with light pinkish-gold patina. Popular for type purposes as the first San Francisco Mint double eagle of the Type II Liberty Head design, the 1866-S Motto is readily obtainable in most circulated grades thanks to repatriations from foreign bank hoards. In solidly graded and aesthetically pleasing AU, as here, the issue is still scarce when viewed in the wider context of this series. PCGS# 8950. NGC ID: 269Y.
