Description
1856-S Double Eagle, MS63+
Ex: S.S. Central America
1856-S $20 Full Serif, Left S, S.S. Central America #2 (with
Pinch) MS63+ PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. This 1856-S
double eagle originates from the most recent S.S. Central
America recovery efforts in 2014 and is encapsulated with a
pinch of gold dust from the wreck. The availability of this No
Motto San Francisco issue has dramatically improved in recent
decades. Examples can now be found in Uncirculated condition
without too much trouble, though they are highly sought-after for
type purposes.This coin is clearly high-end for the MS63 grade level. Its yellow-gold surfaces are minimally marked with frosty mint luster and razor-sharp devices. Just a few obverse ticks are worth noting.
From The Selman Family Collection.
