$20 1857-S PCGS MS67 20A SPIKED SHIELD SS CENTRAL AMERICA GOLD FOIL

$167,500.00

Legend Numismatics is proud to own and offer this magnificent and extremely historical GEM TYI $20. We shake our heads in bewilderment that this coin actually sat on the ocean floor for so many years. The fact it survived all that happened in a unheard of condition like this defies logic! We consider this coin to be a legit MS67.9+! We can not imagine a finer TY I could ever exist (none do). Unbelievable surfaces are exactly that. Even using a strong glass and skimming the satiny surfaces for a few minutes will yield you NO imperfections-not even tiny ones. A full glowing luster beams boldly from all over. Both sides have a crisp and deeper orange gold on the rims that opens into lighter yellow gold centers. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and every detail are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is jaw dropping and then some! PCGS 8, NGC 0, CAC 3. It should be known that the Bold S Type has 2 MS67’s that are CAC and that is it (so 4 of the 8 are beaned). We have spoken to our friends at the Ship Wreck Group and they have told us with about 60% now graded, only ONE NEW MS67 $20 has been found so far. The chances of many more surfacing are slim as many of the pieces were scattered around the ocean floor. NOTE: A PCGS MS67 CAC did sell in auction for $152,750.00  way back in 08/2014. This coin is from the very first batch from years ago. It had been off the market since it was offered and is only surfacing now from an estate. Last month Legend placed another MS67. The supply of these is finite for sure. Legend Numismatics is proud to own and offer this magnificent coin. Not only is it one of the best TY 1’s that exist-it is from a genuine Treasure Ship find! Clearly this is a once in a life time opportunity.
