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 the new Denver Mint in
1906 and 1907.
