1860 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle NGC MS-62 Ex.SS Republic

Category: $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle
Wire/ACH/Check/Zelle Price
Ex.SS Republic. Only 96 examples of the 1860 Philadelphia mint double eagle were recovered from this fabled shipwreck. Locating a specimen in any Mint State grade is a challenge, let alone a near Choice BU specimen like this one. 


On October 25, 1865, the S.S. Republic set sail from New York City bound for New Orleans but sank off the Georgia coast. In the early 21st century, Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. discovered the wreck and recovered numerous coins, including thousands of double eagles, one of which is featured in this lot.


The 1860 Type One Philadelphia Mint double eagle is considered the second most available of its kind from the 1860s, yet it remains underrated in Mint State. With only 50-60 coins surviving in Mint State, those graded MS63 or higher are deemed Condition Census. This premium-quality BU coin, minimally abraded, showcases rich yellow-gold color, frosty luster, and a sharp strike, making it a standout for inclusion in a distinguished double eagle collection. It is housed in an NGC blue border holder.
