Liberty Double Eagles
1861-S $20 AU58 NGC. In a familiar refrain, shipwreck recoveries greatly altered the availability of the 1861-S in About Uncirculated condition as well as in Mint State grades, although the issue remains quite rare in fully Uncirculated grades. At last count, 143 examples were recovered from the S.S. Republic and the S.S. Brother Jonathan wrecks -- mostly in About Uncirculated condition, plus about a dozen Mint State coins. No provenance accompanies this well-preserved, honey-gold near-Mint example. Orange accents add eye appeal to the still-lustrous and smooth surfaces that show only minor abrasions. Census: 106 in 58, 14 finer (3/17).
