<B>1865 $20 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Ex: <I>S.S. Republic.</B></I> Gleaned from this famous shipwreck, a sharply struck Civil War-era twenty with pleasing cartwheel luster. Both sides are well preserved, and, while the left obverse field and central device have a few luster grazes that are consistent with the grade, these hardly detract from this coin's overall eye appeal. Prior to the recovery of the <I>S.S. Republic</B></I>, true Uncirculated pieces of this issue were nearly unobtainable. Fortunately for collectors, the shipwreck has yielded more than 300 examples of the previously-rare 1865, certified by NGC in grades ranging from AU58 to MS66. Even with the recovery of those coins, however, the 1865 remains a scarce and highly desirable issue in the Liberty double eagle series. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
