- Premium Near-Mint 1866-S Motto Double Eagle 1866-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. Motto. AU-58+ (PCGS). Charming rose-gold surfaces are fully original and temptingly close to a Mint State assessment. Boldly to sharply defined throughout with a billowy frosty texture to the finish. 842,250 double eagles of the With Motto design were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1866 according to government records. Total face value for this issue is $16,834,000. Most circulated extensively on the West Coast, and some others were shipped overseas to facilitate trade and were melted at their destinations. Although the 1866-S With Motto is readily obtainable in most circulated grades thanks to repatriations of survivors from foreign bank hoards, at the uppermost reaches of Choice AU the issue is still scarce when viewed in the wider context of the Liberty Head double eagle series. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 31 finer (MS-62+ finest). PCGS# 8950. NGC ID: 269Y. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
