Description

1865-S Double Eagle, MS65
Highly Attractive, Ex: S.S. Brother Jonathan

1865-S $20 MS65 NGC. Small S mintmark. The frigid Pacific Ocean imparted a frosty texture to many S.S. Brother Jonathan double eagles as part of the recovery operations, but the coin's surfaces were largely unaffected by the ocean's preservation and exceptional eye appeal remains intact on most pieces found. A few minor luster grazes exist on this Gem Uncirculated Brother Jonathan recovery coin, yet the surfaces are otherwise mark-free and the richly patinated orange-gold surfaces are undeniably attractive. Full Gem examples are rare and finer pieces are essentially uncollectible. Census: 58 in 65 (1 in 65+), 9 finer (3/25).(Registry values: N4719)
