Description

1865 Liberty Twenty, MS64
Seldom Encountered in Finer Grades

1865 $20 MS64 NGC. The 1865 Liberty double eagle was almost never seen in Mint State grades before the recent salvage of the S.S. Republic. The collecting picture changed dramatically for this date when 320 examples grading from AU to MS65 were recovered from that famous shipwreck.

This delightful Choice example may, or may not, be a survivor of the S.S. Republic, but it certainly has the vibrant mint luster associated with those coins, and the odds are in favor of such an origin. The design elements are sharply detailed and the lightly marked yellow-gold surfaces display highlights of green. Eye appeal is outstanding. Census: 85 in 64 (2 in 64 ★ ), 24 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269U, PCGS# 8943, Greysheet# 9802)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
