Exciting 1865-S Double Eagle, MS64

1865-S $20 MS64 NGC. Ex: Brother Jonathan. The 1865-S double eagle boasts a large mintage of 1,042,500 pieces. Most of the coins were released into circulation immediately, and few were saved by collectors at the time of issue. Before the recoveries from the S.S. Brother Jonathan and the S.S. Republic, the issue was quite rare in high grades. Even great collectors such as Harry Bass had to settle for an example in the XF range. Today collectors are more fortunate, with beautiful specimens like the present coin available in numbers undreamed of by earlier numismatists. The coin offered here is sharply struck, with vibrant mint luster, and no individually distracting marks. Overall eye appeal is outstanding. Census: 79 in 64, 66 finer (6/09).
