1857-S $20 Gold Type 1 Spiked Shield S.S. Central America #2 (with Pinch) PCGS MS66 (CAC)

This coin is housed in the large holder with a pinch of gold

We absolutely LOVE this magnificent coin. There is no question it is SUPER HIGH END!

We can’t imagine how this coin has survived for 168 years—with most of that time being underwater in such a pristine state of preservation. We were amazed that after using a strong glass, ticks were almost non-existent. The surfaces are sleek and emit an intense luster. The color is a brilliant yellow gold. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck. The eye appeal is awesome!

PCGS 226, NGC 30, CAC 9. (for all 57S as a whole). The current Collectors Universe value is $36,000.00. Definitely, the examples of these in higher grades have not been hitting the market with any frequency in the past year or two. Most seem to have found good homes. Remember, this is a coin from a real treasure ship!

This coin comes in the original cardboard box.
