1856-S Double Eagle, MS63
Popular Type One Issue

1856-S $20 MS63 PCGS. The collecting landscape for Type One double eagles changed dramatically over the past quarter-century with treasure discoveries including the S.S. Central America that sank in 1857, and the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic that both sank in 1865. In Mint State grades, the 1856-S was one of the more available issues prior to the S.S. Central America discovery, and today it is tied with the 1865-S as the second most common issue. It's status is especially important for type collectors who seek a single attractive example of the Type One design. The present piece is just such a coin that features a bold strike and rich, frosty orange-gold mint luster.(Registry values: N4719)
