Gorgeous 1857-S Central America Twenty, MS65

1857-S $20 Broken A MS65 NGC. When Robert Evans worked on the S.S. Central America project, he identified several reverse die varieties of the 1857-S double eagles. The Broken A variety has an incomplete crossbar to the A in STATES. The other two A's in the legend are normally formed. This lovely Gem has bright yellow-gold luster with satiny fields and frosty devices, imparting a slight cameo appearance. A few scattered marks on each side are of little significance on this beautiful double eagle. The only noticeable marks are a small group concentrated below the right (facing) wing.
The S.S. Central America treasure included a large number of high-grade 1857-S double eagles while an additional quantity of lower quality pieces were recovered in the S.S. Republic treasure. Once considered an important condition rarity, today these coins are excellent examples for type collectors.
