Wonderful 1864-S Double Eagle, AU53

1864-S $20 AU53 NGC. The 1864-S was an issue that was nearly unobtainable in grades above Extremely Fine before the discoveries of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and the S.S. Republic. This better grade example features sharply defined details, with just a trace of softness on Liberty's hair, as typically seen. Splendid yellow-orange patina graces the surfaces, which show numerous insignificant abrasions. A delightful example of a Civil War-era issue.(Registry values: N1793)
