Description

1857-S Eagle, AU55
Rare Date, From the
S.S. Republic

1857-S $10 AU55 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. The recent discovery of treasure left behind when the S.S. Republic sank has rewritten the rarity ratings for many issues. Among those are a few near-Mint and Mint State 1857-S eagles that were recovered from the treasure, among the first of their kind. This Choice AU piece is fully lustrous with bright green-gold surfaces. Just 26,000 pieces were originally struck -- one doubts if any significant quantities remain to be found. Census: 4 in 55, 6 finer (7/19).
