1866-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. No Motto. AU Details--Improperly Cleaned (NGC).,With boldly struck devices and freedom from singularly distracting abrasions, this coin presents exceptionally well in light of the stated impairment. The obverse has retoned quite nicely with a reddish-orange patina, while the reverse sports an original khaki-gold patina and appears unaffected by cleaning. This coin is worthy of careful bidder consideration, especially given the rarity and key date status of the 1866-S No Motto double eagle. 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 with a mere ten Mint State grading events recorded at both PCGS and NGC combined.,PCGS# 8945. NGC ID: 269W.,,
