1865-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Brother Jonathan 722. Yellow-gold surfaces are highlighted with orange-gold, particularly around the peripheries. A serpentine abrasion in the hair near star 10 is the only notable abrasion on either side. Slight softness exists on the uppermost obverse hair curls, but the reverse exhibits all details on both sides. In 1999, about 600 Mint State examples of this issue were released as part of the S.S. Brother Jonathan hoard. Prior to this release, the 1865-S was very rare in high grades.
