详细说明

Ex. S.S. Central America. A fabulous borderline SUPERB GEM example, an example that we have had the honor of offering once before. Described as follows in our March 2020 Regency Auction, lot 408: "What an unbelievably superb 57-S! We absolutely rank this coin an MS66.9+! Considering this was covered with muck, the conservators did an incredible job. If it was not in a Ship Wreck holder we assure you, it would be impossible to know it was under the sea for 155+ years. The surfaces shame all other coins; they are borderline perfect. Only when you use a strong glass can you find a minor frost break or tiny tick. You'd still expect that on a huge coin like this. A full booming intense luster can guide in the Space Shuttle! Both sides are a GEM Yellow gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and offer generous frost. The eye appeal is spectacular! The Shipwreck pop for this coins is 9 with only four higher. The regular NON Shipwreck pop in MS66+ 0! CAC has beaned a total of 53 pieces in MS66. (They do not separate out + graded coins or Ship Wreck coins.) If you are building a GEM Type set, you know until this wreck surfaced, there was no such thing as a choice or GEM $20 1857-S. In MS66+ and MS67, its pretty much still that way. We can not stress enough the MONSTER quality of this SUPERB GEM. It is also $110,000 less than the MS67, even though it is that close to being one! In the 2014 dive (the final dive) 3154 coins were salvaged. All the coins are now graded and accounted for. This is a magnificent $20 as well as being a genuine historical piece of treasure!" This coin realized $61,688 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $65,000. The eye appeal of this coin is off the charts and it should bring a very strong price today. Cert.
