1857-S Double Eagle, MS66
Ex: S.S. Central America

1857-S $20 MS66 NGC. Ex: Central America. Prior to the discovery of the S.S. Central America shipwreck, the 1857-S double eagle was a scarce date in high grade. However, several thousand examples of the issue have been recovered from the Carolina-coastal waters shipwreck since the 1990s, making the 1857-S one of the most plentiful Type One dates overall. Nonetheless, high-grade Mint State examples remain elusive. This Premium Gem 1857-S double eagle displays vibrant, frosty mint luster and beautiful straw-gold coloration. Each side is pristine, with Liberty's cheek especially clean. Census: 30 in 66 (1 in 66+, 1 in 66★ ), 3 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N7079)
