Description

Charming 1865-S Double Eagle, Choice AU

1865-S $20 AU55 NGC. Garrett and Guth (2006) report that this issue was very rare in high grades until shipwreck discoveries, and even the great collector Harry W. Bass, Jr. could not obtain one finer than Extremely Fine. The present specimen exhibits impressive details and a lovely olive-orange patina. The only noticeable area of weakness is on the hair, which is typically seen softly struck. A number of minor abrasions define the grade, but none merit specific mention. Lots of luster in the fields enhance the pleasing eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
