Liberty Double Eagles
1857-S $20 AU58 NGC. Although bright luster illuminates design recesses, this Type One double eagle did not originate from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. That is because the mintmark is tilted left and centered over the right half of the N in TWENTY, a placement different from any of the eight die varieties known from the S.S.C.A. holdings. In addition, the E in AMERICA has a defective upper crossbar, and the U in UNITED lacks an upper left serif. An original pumpkin-gold example with a sharp strike and distributed small to moderate marks.
