$20 1857-S PCGS MS66+ SPIKED SHIELD SS CENTRAL AMERICA

$85,000.00

We hand picked 2 coins out of all the 57S MS66+ that exist. The 2 coins we picked were just phenomenal! We absolutely rank this coin an MS66.9+! Considering this was covered with muck, the conservators did an incredible job. If it was not in a Ship Wreck holder we we assure you, it would be impossible to know it was under the sea for 155+ years. The surfaces shame all other coins-they are borderline perfect. Only when you use a strong glass can you find a minor frost break or tiny tick. You’d still expect that on huge coin like this. A full blooming intense luster can guide in the Space Shuttle! Both sides are a GEM Yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and offer generous frost. The eye appeal is spectacular! The Ship Wreck pop for this coins is 9 with only 4 higher (see our MS67 that is posted).  The regular NON Ship Wreck pop  in MS66+ 0! CAC has beaned a total of 53 pieces in MS66. It does not break out MS66+ or Ship Wreck coins. If you are building a GEM Type set, you know until this wreck surfaced, there was no such thing as a choice or GEM $20 1857S. In MS66+ and MS67, its pretty much still that way. We can not stress enough the MONSTER quality of this SUPERB GEM.It is also $110,000.00 less then the MS67-even though it is that close to being one! In the 2014 dive (the final dive) 3154 coins were salvaged. All the coins are now graded and accounted for. This is a magnificent $20 as well as being a historical genuine piece of treasure!
