- Historic Mint State 1860 Liberty $20 Salvaged from the S.S. Republic Shipwreck 1860 Liberty Head Double Eagle. S.S. Republic Label. MS-61 (NGC). Vivid and frosty, both sides of this lovely example exhibit intense golden-yellow patina. Sharply struck with eye appeal to spare. For the assigned grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable 1860 twenty. The Philadelphia Mint produced 577,670 circulation strikes of this denomination in 1860. Q. David Bowers estimated a Mint State population of 40 to 60 different pieces when he wrote his 2004 Guide Book of Double Eagles. Since then the recovered treasure from the S.S. Republic shipwreck has yielded about 150 more coins. Even so, Uncirculated 1860 double eagles remain scarce relative to the demand that such pieces enjoy among today's advanced gold collectors. This lot includes the original wooden presentation case, box, Certificate of Authenticity and informational CD as issued with the coin by Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc., excavators of the S.S. Republic treasure. The supporting materials are available to the winning bidder upon request to Stack's Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction. Provenance: Ex S.S. Republic. NGC Census: 24; 17 finer. NGC ID: 269D. Click here for certification details from NGC.
