1863-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. Small S. S.S. Republic Label. AU-58 (NGC).,Satiny light gold surfaces support bold to sharp striking detail over all but a few isolated design features. Readily available in lower grades by early San Francisco Mint double eagle standards, the 1863-S remains scarce in AU and Mint State despite the discovery of a number of high grade examples with the <em>S.S. Brother Jonathan</em> and <em>S.S. Republic</em> treasures. The offered coin is a strong candidate for inclusion in an advanced gold type or date set. Accompanied by the original wooden case and informational booklet as distributed by Odyssey Marine Exploration. <em><strong>The supporting materials are available to the winning bidder upon request to Stacks Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction</strong></em>.,PCGS# 8940.
