Liberty Double Eagles
1862-S $20 AU53 NGC. Shipwreck finds greatly increased the population of About Uncirculated or finer coins for this heavily circulated San Francisco issue. Nearly 200 1862-S twenties were rescued from the combined S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic salvage operations. The history of the present coin is unknown, but it matters little. Sharp definition remains over the lightly abraded wheat-gold surfaces, with traces of mint luster among the obverse stars and reverse devices.
