1866 Motto Liberty Seated Dollar. In NGC encapsulation 5938141-002, graded PF 64 ULTRA CAMEO. Of 725 Proofs struck, NGC has encapsulated 16 as ULTRA CAMEO, only 8 graded higher. .
From the Dr. Jay M. Galst Collection.
This coin is superb in every respect. The cameo contrast is dramatic and the toning is exceptional. The fields have a light golden-orange tone trending to brighter red-orange and vivid iridescent blue at the borders. Virtually mark free and suitable for the finest collection of Liberty Seated Dollars.
Fresh off the conclusion of the Civil War, coinage of proofs had dropped to a level of 725 in this year. An important change was made to the design of US coinage with the addition of the motto “In God We Trust.” 1866 would be its first appearance on US silver dollars. It would take years before precious metal coinage would see normal circulation again. This proof was clearly set aside immediately by its buyer and has been carefully preserved by collectors ever since.
