- Lot Description
- From the second S.S. Central America recovery, housed in the oversized holder with a pinch of California gold dust. For an MS63, this coin has a brilliant, blazing luster that radiates vividly on both sides, with a strong flash that illuminates the room. The minute ticks and lines, acquired during a century and a half at the sea floor, are not distracting and do not impact the awesome eye appeal. A truly historic relic of the mid-19th century, a coin that bridges the westward expansion and pioneer/Gold rush years and the Civil War. PCGS graded 32 examples in MS63 from the second round of the recovery. Only one of which has sold, realizing $6,000 in July 2019. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,750 and this one has a bold look that will see strong bidding. An affordable, high end, high grade Type 1 double eagle with a great story. Cert. Number 34749512 PCGS # 670713.00
