<B>1866-S $20 Motto MS61 NGC.</B></I> An amazing double eagle that really should be nonexistent in Mint State grades, although a few have survived totally by chance. A relatively large mintage of 842,250 coins is combined with an extremely low survival rate in higher grades. It is believed that the entire mintage entered circulation, and were later pulled from commerce for exportation. Today, typical examples that are returned to the U.S. grade just VF or XF. Pieces that grade AU are rare, and Mint State are extremely rare. This lovely piece is fully brilliant and lustrous with frosty yellow-gold surfaces and sharp design elements. Census: 14 in 61, 2 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
