1857-S Liberty Double Eagle, AU58
Outstanding Type Coin

1857-S $20 AU58 PCGS. The 1857-S Liberty double eagle has become the favorite type coin of the Type One series, thanks to the recovery of the fabulous treasure of the S.S. Central America. This coin may, or may not, have been part of that famous shipwreck recovery, but it shows the sharp strike and vibrant mint luster that characterize many of those coins. Just the slightest trace of friction is evident on the high points of the design elements and the pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded, with strong eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
