Liberty Double Eagles
1865-S $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Ex: The Gilded Age Collection. Like the 1857-S, shipwreck recoveries from the past two decades have drastically altered the rarity of the 1865-S, which was formerly almost unknown in Mint State and now can be found with a bit of searching. We offered this coin back in our January 2000 FUN Signature sale, where the cataloger at the time explained: "Although not noted on the holder, one would have to speculate that this clean, sharply struck '65-S came from the Brother Jonathan hoard dispersed last year."
Frosty, orange-gold surfaces yield mint-green and rose accents. Marks are far fewer than indicated by the MS62 assessment, and this coin could easily compete with an example one or two grade points higher. Truly an appealing representative with a razor-sharp strike.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2000), lot 7905; Gilded Age Collection (Stack's Bowers, 8/2014), lot 12032.
