Description

1853 Gold Dollar, MS62
S.S. Central America Pedigree
Includes Pinch of Gold Dust

1853 G$1 S.S. Central America #2 (with Pinch) MS62 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. Lustrous with bright yellow-gold color. The strike is sharp, and there are only minimal abrasions for the grade. The 1853 gold dollar is plentiful in Mint State, benefiting from a mintage of more than 4 million coins. Nonetheless, a subset of this issue -- those pieces recovered from the S.S. Central America shipwreck -- is small and scarce. PCGS reports only 71 coins with the shipwreck pedigree, just a few of which grade finer than this piece. Housed in a custom Bob Evans Signature holder with a pinch of gold dust from the shipwreck. Population (S.S. Central America pedigree): 19 in 62, 4 finer (5/22).

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 670725, Base PCGS# 7521)
