Liberty Double Eagles
1857-S $20 Faint S, Variety 20D, AU55 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. SSCA 0756. This sharply detailed and unabraded Choice AU example displays lovely orange-gold patina and lustrous surfaces. The fields are semiprooflike when tilted beneath a light. Eye appeal is outstanding, as is frequently the case for 1857-S double eagles recovered from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. Housed in a gold label holder of its original distribution, the coin is accompanied by a faux Ship of Gold book as well as the original, forest-green Blanchard box of issue.
