1860 $20 MS65 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. In 2003 and 2004 the numismatic media and other broader news vehicles, including National Geographic Ultimate Explorer and Dateline NBC, carried the story of the recovery of the shipwreck S.S. Republic by personnel of Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. The Republic foundered on Oct. 25, 1865, off the coast of Georgia in a raging hurricane, with 90 passengers and crew, carrying about $400,000 face value in U.S. coinage. The steam paddlewheeler was on her way to New Orleans with a cargo of coins and other supplies destined to aid post-Civil War Reconstruction.

Odyssey Marine Exploration, based in Tampa, Florida, is a public company founded in 1994 and a leader in the field of deep-sea exploration and recovery. A news release issued by the company on Jan. 27, 2004, included this information:

"To date, more than 17,000 coins, with a total face value of $54,500 (approximately 14,230 silver and 2,950 gold coins) and over 750 other artifacts have been recovered. ..." (Updated figures are available from the Odyssey website.)

The mix of coins recovered is both interesting and surprising, for silver coinage was elusive and seldom seen in circulation during that era. The many eagles and double eagles recovered included various dates and mintmarks from the 1840s and 1850s onward--but of course nothing dated later than 1865.

The present Gem specimen of the 1860 is encapsulated in a special NGC slab with a purple border, with the date and denomination on one line and SS REPUBLIC on a second line below. The third line, of course, contains the MS65 grade. While as of this writing NGC has graded 89 examples of the S.S. Republic 1860 double eagles in all grades, this is the single finest and only Gem example among those pieces. The surfaces are incredibly attractive and radiantly lustrous,with light yellow-gold color. The reverse is near-pristine, and only (PCGS# 8929)

1860 $20 MS63 PCGS. This is an extremely important opportunity, as this date is anything but common in Mint State grades. It is a fully brilliant example with frosty yellow-gold luster and wisps of pinkish color. A few slight abrasions and lines keep this from the Choice MS64 grade level. With the massive gold discoveries in California, construction and operation of the San Francisco Mint meant that much less gold had to be shipped back to Philadelphia, thus much lower mintages resulted. Population: 7 in 63, 3 finer (1/05). (PCGS# 8929)

1860 MS 63 NGC. The 1860 double eagle is a moderately scarce P-mint in circulated grades and takes a giant leap in difficulty at the mint state level. This select, minimally abraded example is fully struck and displays satiny, lustrous fields that show an occasional glimmer of rose-gold patina. The rarity and importance of this high grade specimen is only compounded by its Type One design.
Purchased October 16, 1976 by Hugh Courteol for $1,800. (PCGS# 8929)

1860 $20 MS62 PCGS. Fully lustrous surfaces exhibit just a whisper of olive iridescence, something which attests to the originality of this lovely piece. Very choice for the grade. Almost all of the eagle's plumage details are clearly defined and the obverse star radials can all be seen. The 1860 is a rare issue at the MS62 level; a claim that's confirmed by the PCGS population data. Population: 5 in 62, 9 finer (6/05). (PCGS# 8929)

1860 $20 MS62 PCGS. Although hardly a common date, this issue is one of the attainable Philadelphia Mint Type One Double Eagles in Mint State grade. It is much scarcer than the 1861 issue, the most plentiful of Type One twenty from this Mint. This example just misses the Condition Census for the date. It has highly lustrous and frosty yellow-gold surfaces with only a slight trace of pinkish color. The surfaces are lightly abraded, yet quite pleasing for the grade. Population: 3 in 62, 9 finer (2/05). (PCGS# 8929)
