THE SHIP OF GOLD COLLECTION<br />
LOT 278<br />
$5 1857-S PCGS MS63+ CAC EX S.S. CENTRAL<br />
AMERICA<br />
Forget about is being a Ship Wreck piece, this is one<br />
HIGH END and really neat coin! Not only is it fully<br />
CHOICE, it has a superb look!<br />
Only a few trivial ticks and marks can be seen and they<br />
do not stand out-you really need a glass to see them.<br />
Indeed, they only show up because the surfaces are fully<br />
prooflike, and no, the prooflike mirrors are not from the<br />
conservation. Obviously several of these pieces were<br />
early strikes and there actually is a touch of contrast. Miss<br />
Liberty and the details have thick frosting and are sharply<br />
struck. The eye appeal is fabulous!<br />
This is the ONLY MS63+ from the wreck. In higher<br />
grades from the ship PCGS has graded only 7 more. It<br />
should be noted that regular MS63 pieces are a pop of 4.<br />
The Collector’s Universe Value for those is only $<strong>29</strong>,000,<br />
which seems very cheap to us; for this coin, Collector’s<br />
Universe suggests a value of $32,500, which again, seems<br />
cheap. The historic importance of this shipwreck on<br />
American history really should add a strong premium!<br />
