Description

1856-S No Motto Double Eagle, MS61
Frosty San Francisco Coin

1856-S $20 MS61 NGC. More than 1,400 1856-S double eagles were found during the two major S.S. Central America recovery operations. Many of those coins were Mint State examples including some Gem Uncirculated and finer pieces. This MS61 double eagle, by appearances, is not one of the shipwreck coins. Richly frosted olive-gold surfaces show no signs of conservation but the exact provenance of this coin is unknown. The A in STATES is broken with only a tiny portion of the crossbar remaining -- only one die pair among the S.S. Central America recoveries shows the Broken A feature. The reverse on this coin is rotated about 20° clockwise in relation to the obverse.(Registry values: N2998)
