David Bowers says of the 1865 issue in his double eagle Guide Book, "Mint State coins are prime rarities and tend to be at or near the MS-60 level."

It has the appearance of those coins with its intense mint frost and rich orange-gold color. The devices are fully struck throughout, and there are no obvious or mentionable abrasions.
