Description

1857-S Double Eagle, MS63
Excellent Spiked Shield

1857-S $20 MS63 NGC. 20A Spiked Shield. Two small die lines adjacent to the lower left shield identify this Spiked Shield variety. This is a technically superior example with pristine surfaces that are nearly unblemished. NGC chose to limit the grade because of rather matte-appearing, subdued luster, especially on the obverse. All of the design elements on both sides are boldly defined. Although not identified as such, it is likely that this example is from the S.S. Central America treasure.
