Liberty Double Eagles
1857-S $20 AU55 NGC. The 1857-S double eagle is an available Type One issue thanks to the discovery of the S.S. Central America shipwreck, which yielded a cache of thousands of coins. Yet, the issue's popularity has only increased as a result. This Choice AU representative is not pedigreed to the shipwreck find, but the surfaces are still fairly smooth and retain partial luster. The strike is sharp, and little high-point wear is seen.
Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2016), lot 4599.
