Description

1865-S $20 Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an Uncirculated specimen that has been damaged. Likely recovered from the S.S. Republic or Brother Jonathan, although the provenance is unknown. Apricot and olive-gray toning is slightly deeper on the reverse. Lustrous with the overall look of an attractive Mint State coin, but the reverse field appears buffed near the UN in UNITED, and a cluster of wispy pinscratches is noted beneath the left (facing) wing.
