Christian VIII gold 2 Christian d'Or 1844 CC-FF MS62 NGC, KM722.2, Fr-289. From the SS New York Shipwreck. A specimen having been minted just two years prior to the sinking of the SS New York, and to have survived in such stellar condition is impressive, to say the least. Brilliantly lustrous, illuminating only the scant wisps and haymarking incurred from its treacherous journey to the floor of the Gulf of Mexico and back. Wonderful through and through, and a surprising outlier as the finest certified out of three seen by NGC, the next closest seven full grade points away as an AU55.
