<B>1857-S $20 MS65 NGC.</B></I> Ex: <I>S.S. Central America. </B></I>Although not identified as such by NGC, this Gem is an example of the Spiked Shield variety that is named for the raised diagonal die lines that pierce the left shield border. It is a wonderful piece that is sharply defined, as are so many, and it exhibits the slight rose color over light yellow surfaces that is a hallmark of coins from the <I>S.S. Central America</B></I> treasure. The borders on each side have somewhat deeper olive-gold toning. Several thousand examples of this issue, once considered a rare date, were part of that treasure, and it is now traded as a type coin, although the <I>S.S. Central America</B></I> provenance adds to its desirability.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
