- 1866 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Motto. Proof-63 (PCGS). Reflective in finish and otherwise brilliant, delicate golden-russet iridescence is tightly confined to the rims. The year 1866 saw the official launch of the Motto design type in the Liberty Seated half dollar series. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST made its first appearance in the regular issue U.S. coin series in 1864, on the newly introduced two-cent piece, and by 1866 it had been introduced to all silver and gold coins of sufficient size. Proof production for the 1866 Motto half dollar amounted to 725 pieces, the coins offered to contemporary collectors as part of the year's silver Proof sets. Enough have survived to make this a readily obtainable issue by the standards of the type, although demand is strong at all levels of preservation given the needs of first year type collectors.
