- 1866-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. Motto. AU-55 (PCGS). Beautiful honey-apricot surfaces are frosty, sharply struck in most areas, and uncommonly smooth in appearance for a lightly circulated Type II double eagle. 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 upper 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 - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8950. NGC ID: 269Y. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
