1863-S Double Eagle, Well-Struck AU55

1863-S $20 AU55 PCGS. The 1863-S Liberty double eagle claims a large mintage approaching one million pieces, struck at the height of the Civil War era. It was easily located in lower grades but virtually unobtainable in Mint State before the recovery of the S.S. Republic and the S.S. Brother Jonathan yielded nearly 300 relatively high-grade pieces, mostly in AU grades. The yellow-gold surfaces of this Choice AU specimen display traces of red. Well-struck throughout.(Registry values: N1793)
