In 1866 the motto IN GOD WE TRUST was added to the reverse of the eagle and appears on a ribbon or scroll from that time through 1907. Otherwise, the Liberty Head obverse and perched eagle reverse are the same as employed earlier. Production was continuous at the Philadelphia Mint during this span and nearly continuous at San Francisco. Beginning in 1870, examples were struck at the Carson City Mint. New Orleans coins were produced from 1879 through 1883 and again in several later years. Coins were struck at Denver in 1906 and 1907.

In grades from Very Fine to AU the type set collector will have a wide choice of specimens. Examples are not rare. Uncirculated pieces are readily encountered of dates toward the end of the type. Superb Uncirculated pieces are very elusive. Proofs were minted and are occasionally available; all are rare.
