<B>1865 $20 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> The 1 in the date is triple punched, and has traces of earlier punches both above and below the prominent 1. This satiny representative is uncommonly well struck, even on the often indistinct hair curls. A reeding mark in front of Liberty's nose and a shallow abrasion to the right of stars 2 and 3 keep this attractive example from an otherwise deserved Select rating. While the discovery of numerous 1865-dated double eagles aboard several shipwrecks has increased the issue's overall availability in Mint State, most of those coins, pedigreed to the <I>S.S. Republic</B></I>, were certified by NGC. The PCGS Registry enthusiast should give the present coin particularly close attention.
