Fantastic Gem 1857-S Double Eagle
From The S.S. Central America

1857-S $20 Spiked Shield MS65 PCGS. SSCA 1095. Though a number of Select and even Choice survivors of the 1857-S double eagle issue came from the wreckage of the S.S. Central America, Gems were far more elusive and are highly prized by type enthusiasts, date collectors, and sunken-treasure devotees alike. This piece offers all the hallmarks of a Central America Gem, including the bold detail, radiant yellow-gold surfaces, and astonishingly high preservation with eye appeal to match. Comes with certificate of authenticity, faux-book case, brown Blanchard outer box, and the receipt for the coin's original purchase.
