1859-S Liberty Double Eagle, AU55
Ex: S.S. Republic

1859-S $20 AU55 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. The recovery from the wreckage of the S.S. Republic only accounted for 67 double eagles from the 1859-S issue. Most pieces were in AU-level grades, and only one Mint State 1859-S was certified. This near-Mint Liberty twenty displays lively yellow-gold surfaces that retain most of its original mint luster. Light wear blends the numerous abrasions, and a radiant cartwheel effect delivers strong eye appeal. Housed in an S.S. Republic-labeled holder.(Registry values: N1793)
