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 />

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 />
