1857-S Double Eagle, MS65
Exceptional Type One Twenty

1857-S $20 MS65 NGC. Ex: Central America. Prior to the discovery of the S.S. Central America shipwreck, the 1857-S double eagle was a scarce date in high grade. However, several thousand examples of the issue have been recovered from the Carolina-coastal waters shipwreck since the 1980s, making the 1857-S one of the most plentiful Type One dates overall. Nonetheless, high-grade Mint State examples remain elusive. This impressive MS62 example exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout, with crisp definition on Liberty's curls and all star centers. The pleasing yellow and rose-gold surfaces are lightly marked for the grade and vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides. Overall eye appeal is outstanding. Census: 66 in 65 (1 in 65+, 1 in 65★ ), 34 finer (7/25).(Registry values: N4719)
