<B>1863 $20 MS61 NGC.</B></I> The treasures of the <I>S.S. Central America, </B></I>the <I>S.S. Republic, </B></I>and the <I>S.S. Brother Jonathan </B></I>ensure that many Type One double Eagles are available for type collectors, but nearly all of those coins are from the San Francisco Mint. Examples from the Philadelphia Mint are extremely rare by comparison, especially in Mint State grades.<BR> This splendid example has bright yellow surfaces with satiny luster and reflective fields. It is sharply defined with full obverse and reverse design details. A late die state, the obverse has a small rim break over the left side of star 7, just before 12 o'clock. Such rim breaks or cuds on gold coins are seldom seen. Census: 6 in 61, 8 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
