1864-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).Lovely rose-orange surfaces are boldly to sharply defined with an overall satin texture. Minimally circulated before being lost at sea, this is a thoroughly appealing example for the assigned grade. This coin is one of 108 1864-S double eagles included in the <em>S.S. Brother Jonathan</em> treasure, most of which were eventually certified AU-55 or AU-58 by the leading third party grading services. A find for the high grade type or date collector, this coin would also do well in a collection of shipwreck treasure.Ex <em>S.S. Brother Jonathan</em> 381.
