USA (San Francisco mint), gold $20 coronet Liberty "double eagle," 1857-S, NGC AU 58 / SS Republic, with green CAC sticker. Very light in color, with choice luster and no wear but too many small marks to make Mint State, interesting as a common date from the SS Central America but very rare from the SS Republic (only 34 in this grade) as is the case here. NGC #5055605-007. Recovered from: S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia
