Lot 620
1857-S. Spiked Shield. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC. PQ. Well struck and fully white. Looks like a MS-66. A glorious example of this double eagle, in outstanding condition and with fantastic eye appeal. The strike is sharp throughout, and the surfaces are amazing to behold with nary a nick or scuff to be found. This one is housed in a larger than normal PCGS holder to encompass a pinch of gold dust that was also recovered from the S. S. Central America shipwreck. A visual treat for the numismatist who appreciates quality and eye appeal. Estimated Value $12,000 - UP
Ex S.S. Central America, in a special PCGS holder with a pinch of gold from the find.
