1863-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS AU-53 Ex.SS Brother Jonathan #288
Recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Brother Jonathan, this piece is part of a group of 116 examples of the 1863-S $20 discovered in the treasure, spanning grades from Extremely Fine-40 to Mint State-63. The find dramatically expanded the known population and provided fresh insight into the preservation of San Francisco double eagles shipped along the Pacific Coast.
Notably, many Brother Jonathan coins display superior eye appeal compared to previously known examples, suggesting careful handling before their loss at sea. This AU-53 specimen reflects that trend, combining original surfaces with strong detail, offering a compelling link between post-Gold Rush commerce, wartime finance, and one of the most important shipwreck recoveries in American numismatics.
