Description

Recovered from the S.S. Central America wreckage, this 1857-S Type I $20 Liberty is graded Choice MS64 Spiked Shield by PCGS. This Gold Double Eagle is CAC certified and PQ Approved. It is well struck with excellent details, especially in Lady Liberty's hair and the stars. A honey-gold hue accentuates the smooth fields and crisp devices. This Gold Double Eagle has outstanding original mint luster and is the perfect addition to any gold collection or registry set.

The sinking of the S.S. Central America in September 1857, was an important event in maritime and numismatic history. At the time of its sinking, the S.S. Central America was carrying hoards of gold coins, owned by the U.S. Mint and affluent passengers. When the shipwreck was found in 1987 the sea floor was littered in gold coins. Thousands of gold coins and gold bars, in mostly uncirculated condition, from the U.S. mint and privately owned mints, were recovered and eventually sold. These coins are especially significant to collectors, investors, and history lovers.

This coin has also been CAC certified for its bright luster and incredible detail. With CAC, prices for the solid quality coins are untethered from their lesser quality counterparts. A coin with CAC certification will have significant meaning to collectors and investors, and CAC coins tend to command higher premiums.

This outstanding investment coin has also been awarded the prestigious PQ Approved sticker for its impeccable condition. A PQ Approved sticker is awarded to exceptional coins that pass a strict grading standard. PQ Approved ensures you are buying the highest quality coin, which historically has proven to offer the best appreciation and liquidity vs. non-PQ coins. For details on the value of the PQ Approved sticker please contact us or visit www.PQApproved.com.

Best customer service from any dealer

I've bought from SD and Miles Franklin in the past, this was my first order with Mint State and they performed better than either of the other companies ever did. So for that superior experience, I'd rank Mint State #1, Miles Franklin a respectable #2 and SD Bullion a distant #4.
