Liberty Double Eagles
1857-S $20 Bold S, Variety 20B, MS64 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America, SSCA 0105. At least eight different die varieties were identified among the more than 5,000 1857-S double eagles that were salvaged from the Central America shipwreck. The Bold S variety is one of the less often represented of these. The present near-Gem displays a sharp strike and radiant, frosty mint luster. The characteristic orange-gold halo around the periphery beautifully frames rose-gold interiors. A small planchet lamination between stars 10 and 11 is the only mentionable strike flaw.
