Description

Lovely Near-Gem 1857-S Double Eagle
From the S.S. Central America

1857-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Variety 20C. CAC. SSCA 1873. The "Narrow Serif" reverse, referring to the slender upper half of the mintmark. This is a well-defined and attractive SSCA near-Gem from the issue that has become virtually synonymous with the wreck, pale yellow-gold through the lustrous centers with deeper peripheral color. A single abrasion just below Liberty's eye largely accounts for the grade. Comes with certificate of authenticity, book-style case, and outer box.
