1851-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This is an very well preserved example of the otherwise relatively obtainable 1851-O double eagle. Originally preserved surfaces exhibit attractive color and nearly full mint luster. The strike is superior by early New Orleans Mint standards. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, and offering outstanding eye appeal, this impressive coin would serve as a highlight in an advanced double eagle set or Southern gold collection. After a modest mintage of 141,000 pieces in 1850, the New Orleans Mint increased double eagle output to 315,000 coins in 1851. Clearly more gold from California reached the Crescent City, and the 1851-O actually has the highest mintage among New Orleans Mint double eagles. Perhaps not surprisingly, this is the most frequently encountered O-Mint double eagle. Survivors are scarce in an absolute sense, however, and particularly relative to those of many Philadelphia Mint issues of the era such as the 1851, 1852 and 1853. As with all early date Liberty Head double eagle issues, the 1851-O is typically offered in circulated grades, most examples grading EF-40 through low end AU. Mint State survivors are exceedingly rare, most of which have survived purely as a matter of chance. There was no contemporary numismatic interest in these early double eagles, especially from the New Orleans Mint. The significance of this near-Mint offering for the advanced gold enthusiast can hardly be overstated.

This is a lovely example with highly lustrous, satin-textured surfaces that are remarkably smooth for the assigned grade. Vivid rose-orange patina is also a strong suit, as are devices that exhibit sharp to full definition from the dies. Though nearly 1.2 million examples of this issue were produced, survivors are surprisingly scarce in Mint State. The recovery of 1,085 examples from the wreck of the S.S. Central America somewhat increased availability, though less than 500 pieces are likely to exist across all Uncirculated grades. The present offering is surely among the more attractive examples of this desirable Type I Liberty Head double eagle issue, appealing to both coin collectors and shipwreck enthusiasts. Provenance: Ex S.S. Central America. CAC

1857-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. SSCA 2747. The "Spiked Shield" variety; identified by two short die scratches left of the shield on the reverse.

1859-S Double Eagle, MS62 Only One Certified Finer 1859-S $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1859-S had an original mintage of 636,445 pieces but, as one would expect from an early S-mint double eagle, most of the surviving examples are only usually found in VF or XF. Probably no more than three dozen Uncirculated coins are known with 14 other MS62 PCGS-certified pieces, seven graded by NGC, and just one finer (11/18). This is a lovely coin that is certainly at the upper end of the stated grade. The original surfaces exude bright golden-rose and lilac patina with strong underlying mint luster. Sharply struck throughout with no reportable abrasions. From The Coco Collection. (Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 269C, PCGS# 8928)

1865-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Ex: Brother Jonathan 679. The S.S. Brother Jonathan foundered on rocks off the California coast on July 30, 1865. The shipwreck location was discovered in 1993, and recovery of its bounty took place in 1996. The 1865-S was formerly rare in Mint State, but a few hundred Uncirculated examples from the shipwreck appeared on the market in 1999. The present coin is nicer than most, since it provides appealing orange-gold color and is uncommonly void of abrasions. The fields are clashed, and the strike is crisp. Ex: S.S. Brother Jonathan (Bowers and Merena, 5/1999), lot 644; Carril Valpairso Collection / August ANA (Stack's, 8/2017), lot 2222; Regency Auction XXIII (Legend, 10/2017), lot 510.(Registry values: N2998) From The Buddy Liles Collection of U.S. Gold Coins, Part III. The SS Brother Jonathan was a Civil War Era steamship sailing north from San Francisco, carrying 244 passengers and crew, and a large treasure of gold coins freshly minted at the San Francisco mint. On July 30, 1865, the steamer hit rough seas, smashed and capsized the lifeboats, leaving a single surfboat, with 11 crew members, 5 women and 3 children, that managed to escape the wreck safely. Only 19 of 244 passengers survived. Numerous acts of courage and desperation, fear, and self-sacrifice were reported. Besides the tragic loss of life, there were also many gold coins lost with a market value today valued at more than $50 million.
