Description

1865-S Double Eagle, MS65
High-End Condition Rarity

1865-S $20 MS65 NGC. Ex: The Peh Family Collection. This beautiful Type One Gem possesses blazing cartwheel luster, and has only trivial obverse contact. The reverse is even better preserved, and on its own would likely secure an even finer grade. Well struck on the major devices, a few obverse stars and peripheral letters are not razor-sharp, but the details are crisp overall. The reverse die is late state and has several heavy cracks along the border, with small breaks noted near the U in UNITED and the M in AMERICA. The Brother Jonathan and Republic shipwrecks have made this issue obtainable to collectors in high grades, but once such pieces are dispersed, they may not reappear at auction for many years. This piece is not pedigreed to a shipwreck on the holder, although it may have come from one earlier.
