Lot #502 - 1857-S Spiked Shield S.S. Central America with gold dust PCGS MS-65+
Gold $20-Liberty Head Double Eagle
Ex-S.S. Central America, "spiked shield" reverse. 9 graded MS-65+, 17 higher at PCGS. The enormous PCGS slab also contains a pinch of "California gold dust" although the encapsulated particles are irritatingly difficult to appreciate through the curiously frosted viewing panel. What is easy to appreciate is the exceptional quality of the 1857-S double-eagle, which appears fully MS-66 to the cataloger's eye. Outrageous, very-bright pale luster predominates over the impressively detailed motifs that suffer merely trivial little bagmarks. Upgrade may be denied by PCGS due to faint, shiny sliding abrasions left and below the chin but otherwise, the surface hardly looks like something which spent more than a century within the salty waters of the Atlantic.

Lot #369 - 1873 Closed 3 PCGS MS-62, and an 1873 Open 3 NGC MS-61
Hammer: $1,000
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
JULES REIVER COLLECTION is referenced for the 1873 "open 3", and the coin displays admirable color and decent luster albeit both sides are well abraded by old-time storage. Completing the thought is an 1873 "open 3" showing demonstrating unusually deep scarlet-orange hue and average luster due to a slightly ineffective strike. Two coin lot.
