Description

Gem Bold S 1857-S Twenty Dollar
From the S.S. Central America

1857-S $20 Bold S MS65 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. Variety 20B. It is difficult to believe that the present coin spent more than 130 years at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. But then, perhaps it was the only way that it could have survived in such quality. This is a precisely struck Gem with potent luster and an essentially immaculate reverse. The obverse has only a few delicate grazes. The canary-gold color is consistent, and there are no suspicious tan areas as seen on the occasional '57-S S.S.C.A. twenty. A high grade representative of this famous antebellum shipwreck. Housed in a gold label holder.(Registry values: P2)
