Description

Beautiful 1865-S Double Eagle, MS64
Ex:
S.S. Brother Jonathan 465

1865-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Brother Jonathan 465. Soft, satiny mint luster shimmers over each side of this visually alluring near-Gem example. Lovely rose and peach-gold coloration enhances the coin's overall eye appeal. The surfaces are remarkably clean for the assigned grade level. A once rare date in the series, the surviving population of the 1865-S double eagle has greatly increased through the recoveries of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic shipwrecks.
