1857-S Double Eagle, MS63+
An S.S. Central America Coin

1857-S $20 Broken A, S.S. Central America With Pinch, MS63+ PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. This 1857-S double eagle is certified in a PCGS holder with a pinch of gold dust and an insert signed by Bob Evans, chief scientist for the SSCA recovery efforts. The present coin was brought up from the famous Ship of Gold in 2014. Luminous yellow-gold surfaces are richly frosted. Design definition is essentially complete with razor-sharp stars, curls, and feathers. Minor marks on the obverse and one above NT in TWENTY barely prevent a full Choice Uncirculated assessment.
