<B>1857-S $20 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: <I>S.S. Central America</B></I>. Variety 20A. SSCA 0981. Dazzling cartwheel luster illuminates this meticulously struck Gem. Only the M in UNUM lacks a precise impression. The reverse is remarkably unabraded, and the obverse field and Liberty's neck are also exceptionally smooth. Only faint grazes on the cheek serve to preclude a finer grade. Variety 20A is the "Spiked Shield" variety, named after the two slender die lines near the left border of the shield. Curator Robert Evans extensively studied the 1857-S double eagles recovered from the SSCA, and reported his findings in a July 2000 <I>Numismatist</B></I> article. Encapsulated in a gold label PCGS holder.<BR><I>From The Arroyo Grande Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
