<B>1857-S $20 Spiked Shield MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: <I>S.S. Central America.</B></I> Variety 20A. SSCA 0762. The Spiked Shield variety is the most common variant of the many 1857-S double eagles, so named because a mint-made die line nearly pierces the lower left shield border. This radiant near-Gem belies its existence for many decades on the seabed of the Atlantic Ocean, with lustrous orange-gold surfaces that show only a few tiny, scattered abrasions. Included with the 1857-S double eagle is an outer cardboard case, a presentation box, made to resemble a leather-bound book, and a certificate of authenticity from the Columbus-America Discovery Group.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
