<B>1857-S $20 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Ex:<I> S.S. Central America.</B></I> Variety 20-A, Spiked Shield. Garrett and Guth note that the "discovery of the <I>S.S. Central America </B></I>changed the landscape of collecting double eagles profoundly. There were more than 5,000 examples of the 1857-S double eagle aboard when the ship sank. Many of the examples found were in the same state of preservation as the day they left the Mint." The Spiked Shield variety of the present coin is the most common, but this piece is a nonetheless superlative example of this joyous and exuberant shipwreck issue. The wonderful orange-gold coloration complements gorgeous luster and enormous appeal. Comes with presentation box and COA.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
