1865 Coronet Double Eagle
NGC Graded MS-66

5086631-006

Long considered a very scarce issue in the Coronet Double Eagle series, the 1865 Philadelphia Mint twenty may yet become a collectable piece once all of SS Republic's treasure is recovered. It's doubtful, however, that any coins will exceed the tremendous quality represented by this incredible beauty. Its bright surfaces reveal numerous fine die-polishing lines and are laced with tiny, meandering die cracks. Bearing the NGC star designation for superior eye appeal, this amazing gold piece looks just as it must have when the ship went down almost 140 years ago.

Numismatic Conservation Services and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation have been awarded the exclusive contract to conserve and grade the thousands of coins being recovered from the 1865 shipwreck of S. S. Republic. These gold and silver coins are being brought to the surface by Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. of Tampa, Florida. Some of the highlights from this ongoing operation are featured here to showcase the work performed by NCS to professionally conserve these treasures and by NGC to certify and encapsulate them for longterm preservation.
