Aanvullende informatie

The "With Motto" designation marks a direct consequence of the Civil War. Congress mandated the addition of IN GOD WE TRUST to U.S. coinage in 1864, driven largely by religious pressure following the perceived godlessness of American currency — a complaint that gained traction as battlefield casualties mounted. The half eagle was updated accordingly by 1866.

This series ran across seven different mints over its lifespan, with Carson City issues from the early 1870s commanding particular attention for their low mintages during the Nevada silver boom years, when gold coinage took a back seat to the region's primary output.
