Housed in a special PCGS gold label S.S. Central America holder. Glowing amber accents overall rose-gold hues across both sides of this stunning Bold S example. Miss Liberty remains well defined, exhibiting an silken texture that continues into the cartwheeling fields. The surfaces on the reverse are similar, emphasized by sharp central elements and satiny brilliance that dances under a light source. This piece is just a single point below the finest seen at PCGS and is certainly among the finest specimens recovered from the Carolina coastline. Submerged deep within the wreckage of the S.S. Central America for more than 100 years, this Gem remains free from any notions of burnishing or weathering frequently encountered on these recovered treasures. While still scarce in Gem preservation and above, the abundance of 1857-S double eagles recovered from this shipwreck has expanded the opportunity to own an iconic piece of numismatic and nautical history.

Central America, in the original PCGS gold label holder, is an ideal candidate!This lot includes the original presentation case and box as distributed with the coin by Blanchard, although the Certificate of Authenticity is not included. <em style="line-height:1.5;">The case and box are available to the winning bidder upon request to Stack s Bowers Galleries after the close of the auction. ， Provenance: Ex S.S.
