1857 Liberty Double Eagle, MS61
Vivid Color, Frosty Luster

1857 $20 MS61 NGC. From a mintage of 439,375 pieces, the 1857 Liberty double eagle is an elusive issue in Mint State grades. Only two examples of this date were recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Central America, and 26 coins were salvaged from the S.S. Republic. This attractive MS61 example exhibits well-detailed design elements and vivid orange-gold surfaces, with a scattering of minor contact marks on both sides. Census: 13 in 61, 14 finer (3/14).
