1857-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS).This beautiful example exhibits vivid bright orange peripheral toning around otherwise rose-gold surfaces. Fully struck with an intense satin finish, this smooth and inviting Gem is sure to please even the most discerning collector. Likely from the treasure of the <em>S.S. Central America</em>, although not designated as such on the PCGS insert. That shipwreck yielded more than 5,000 1857-S double eagles, including many high grade Uncirculated pieces. This find has made the 1857-S one of the leading type candidate in the No Motto Liberty Head double eagle series, a role to which this lovely Gem is ideally suited.
