S.S. Republic 1865 Double Eagle, MS64

1865 $20 MS64 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. When the ill-fated S.S. Republic sank, a substantial cache of gold coins, as well as scattered pieces held by passengers and crew, went down with the ship. More than a century later, the discovery of the S.S. Republic and the recovery of much of its treasure led to newfound interest and availability for a number of Type One double eagle issues, particularly the 1865. This salvaged near-Gem offers vibrant straw-gold surfaces and pleasing overall detail with only a handful of shallow flaws on each side. Housed in an attractive wood-finish box with accompanying booklet and CD-ROM. NGC has graded 25 numerically finer representatives (6/08).(Registry values: N1)
