1857 Twenty Dollar, MS62
Conditionally Rare

1857 $20 MS62 NGC. Most 1857-dated Liberty double eagles of the present quality were struck in San Francisco, and recovered from the S.S. Central America. But this smooth and lustrous lemon-gold example was coined at Philadelphia, and shows no signs of a stint in seawater, although about two dozen examples, mostly circulated, were excavated from the S.S. Republic. The fields are clashed, behind Liberty's neck and below the eagle's beak. The strike is crisp, and any detractions are incidental. The eye appeal is impressive. Census: 15 in 62, 4 finer (5/23).
