<B>1860-S $20 AU55 NGC.</B></I> Ex: <I>S.S. Republic</B></I>. After the Civil War, gold and silver coins were in short supply in the important port of New Orleans, and the treasure recovered from the <I>S.S. Republic</B></I> was meant to facilitate transactions in "hard money." This faintly worn S-mint double eagle, well struck with subtle greenish accents enlivening its still-lustrous yellow-gold surfaces, shows a number of light but not individually distracting marks in the fields. A presentation case, booklet, and DVD from Odyssey Marine Exploration accompanies the lot.<BR><I>From The Arroyo Grande Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
