S.S. Central America Recovery Coin
1857-S $20 Spiked Shield, Variety 20A, S.S. Central
America With Pinch, MS66 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central
America. The Spiked Shield variety features a die line through

Ship of Gold, which sank off the coast of the Carolinas in a
hurricane on the night of September 12, 1857. This radiant Premium

appeal.From The Estate of Richard Kay.
