The 1866 Liberty Seated Half Dollar with Motto occupies an important place in the series, marking the first year the “In God We Trust” motto appeared on the denomination. Struck in proof format with a tiny mintage of just 725 pieces, the issue is genuinely scarce, particularly in any condition that shows real-world use rather than pristine preservation.
This example, certified by PCGS as PR-53, represents a circulated proof—an especially intriguing category that bridges presentation striking and everyday commerce. PCGS has graded just one coin at the PR53 level, with 206 examples certified finer. Remarkably, it is one of only ten circulated 1866 Liberty Seated Half Dollar proofs graded by PCGS, underscoring its rarity within an already limited population.
Despite its scarcity and historical appeal, this circulated proof remains quite affordable in its PR53 grade. For collectors seeking an authentic proof Liberty Seated half without the prohibitive cost typically associated with the type, this piece offers a compelling opportunity. If you would like a proof Seated half at a true bargain-basement level, this coin may fit the bill.
