Lot Description

Ex S.S. CENTRAL AMERICA. Housed in the original gold foil holder with cert # 6382. This is a sharply struck example with bold details on both sides. The initial eye appeal is of a higher grade coin for sure. There is a strong eye appeal especially for a coin of this grade, that often does not possess so much surviving luster. There are some minor marks, easy to forgive on a coin that was lightly circulated before going down with the ship. PCGS 151, NGC 182. Cert# 6386, also AU53 sold in June 2011 for $6,900, and that appears to be the most recent example to sell in auction. A great opportunity to add a very cool early S-mint $20 with a very historic provenance. Cert. Number SSCA6382 PCGS # 70041
