- 1857-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. Variety-20C. Narrow Serif. With One Pinch of California Gold Dust. MS-64 (PCGS). Frosty rose-gold surfaces are fully struck with intricate detail throughout the design. Once the Central Americatreasure was made available for sale, numismatists could not only acquire a Mint State example of this issue, but the majority of the recovered specimens were in Choice to Gem Mint State grades, as here. This lovely, historic double eagle will certainly please the successful bidder. This coin is housed in a special large size PCGS holder that also includes one pinch of California gold dust. The back of the PCGS insert features the signature of Bob Evans, chief scientist and historian of the S.S. Central Americatreasure. Under Evans' signature is the note: "I certify this coin and gold dust were recovered from the S.S. Central America." Also included in this lot is a cardboard Ship of Gold presentation box designed to house the large size PCGS holder, as well as the Certificate of Authenticity from PCGS. The box and certificate are available to the winning bidder upon request to Stack's Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction. Provenance: Ex S.S. Central America. PCGS# 670716.
