<B>1857-S $20 MS65 NGC.</B></I> Variety 20-A, Spiked Shield. The Spiked Shield reverse is the most common pairing of the various dies represented in the recovery of the<I> S.S. Central America </B></I>treasure. The NGC encapsulation does not identify this as a <I>Central America </B></I>piece, yet it certainly has all of the hallmarks. The canary-yellow surfaces are stunning and highly lustrous, with no mentionable distractions at all and only the most minuscule abrasions. The obvious high state of preservation, again in the absence of hard evidence, could certainly be put at the feet of underwater preservation, perhaps in the middle of one of the many stacks of double eagles recovered from the ocean floor.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
