Odyssey Marine Exploration recovered only one $20 1854-O Double Eagle from the wreck of the Civil War-era steamship SS Republic®*. Very rare in any condition, this coin which was graded AU-58 would likely command over $1,000,000 at auction today! This commemorative replicating the original is layered in 24K gold with an Uncirculated finish. In 2003, one of only four known original 1861 CSA Reverse Silver Half Dollars sold at auction for over $600,000. This .999 fine silver commemorative represents “what might have been” had the Confederacy succeeded. Both are encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Includes hardwood display case.
