Description

1863-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS).

Bright straw-gold surfaces with a tinge of pale rose iridescence. We note just light scattered abrasions on both sides of this charming branch mint double eagle with nice eye appeal. Nearly a million double eagles were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1863. Relatively available in circulated condition, until the recovery of the treasure from the S.S. Brother Jonathan and the S.S. Republic, the issue was conditionally challenging above AU with Mint State examples especially rare. Since then, several Uncirculated examples have appeared and this popular Civil War issue remains in high demand.

PCGS# 8940. NGC ID: 269R.
