Liberty Double Eagles
1865 $20 AU58 NGC. Until the salvage of more than 300 high-grade 1865 double eagles from the S.S. Republic shipwreck, the 1865 issue was rare any finer than XF condition. It is still scarce approaching Uncirculated condition, but not nearly as challenging as before the fabulous treasure recovery. This is an attractive and frosty near-Mint example with generally smooth surfaces and substantial remaining mint luster. We note a slight rim bump near star 4 and scattered small abrasions, but no other marks of special mention. The eye appeal is excellent.
