THE SHIP OF GOLD COLLECTION<br />

LOT 283<br />

$20 1857-S 20A, SPIKED<br />

SHIELD. PCGS MS62<br />

Ex S.S. Central America and<br />

housed in the original gold foil<br />

holder with cert # 3726.<br />

Glowing satin luster beams with<br />

ultra strong radiating surface.<br />

This one was likely stored in a<br />

bag where other 57-S double<br />

eagles had contact with the<br />

surfaces, but none of the minor<br />

marks or scuffs have an overly<br />

negative effect on the CHOICE<br />

eye appeal. Sharply struck up<br />

devices stand out against the rich<br />

orange gold color. The eye appeal<br />

is excellent for the assigned grade.<br />

PCGS 542, NGC 22. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,500 and it is interesting to note that none of the recent MS62s<br />

that have sold recently are housed in the original S.S.C.A. holders. A very historic relic of this important shipwreck. A great coin for any<br />

double eagle collector, gold stacker, or any collector of shipwreck relics.<br />

PCGS# 70000 | ESTIMATE: $5000+<br />

LOT 284<br />

$20 1857-S 20A SPIKED<br />

SHIELD. PCGS MS64<br />

Ex S.S. Central America.<br />

Housed in the original gold foil<br />

holder from the first recovery of<br />

the ship wreck. With<br />

cert# A1637.<br />

This is a highly lustrous, near<br />

GEM example. Having a rich<br />

orange-gold color that comes to<br />

life with the radiating, glowing,<br />

incandescent luster. The strike is<br />

razor sharp, and the eye appeal<br />

is not marred by the few tiny<br />

ticks that can be seen. You might<br />

imagine that a coin that sank to<br />

the bottom of the ocean would have been much more hacked up. This one is not and the look is great!<br />

PCGS 1087, NGC 103 in all designations. The last one sold for $8,700 and it did not have the exceptional eye appeal of this one. The<br />

current PCGS value is listed at $10,500. A great coin for any holding of double eagles or shipwreck gold.<br />

PCGS# 70000 | ESTIMATE: $8,250+<br />
