Liberty Double Eagles
1865-S $20 XF45 NGC. Small S mintmark. A large number of discoveries from the S.S. Republic and the Brother Jonathan shipwrecks make the 1865-S much more available than it was prior to the seawater finds. Most of the salvage coins grade About Uncirculated or finer, while the present coin almost certainly never saw the ocean. Original orange-gold surfaces display red and olive overtones amid traces of mint luster to justify the Choice XF designation. We note a few light marks and a small rim bump below E of TWENTY.
