  • 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 #563 - 1925-S PCGS AU-55
  • Hammer: $4,650
  • Gold $20-Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
  • President Franklin Roosevelt's gold confiscation order resulted directly in heavy melting of numerous gold double-eagles, with 1925-S an especially hard hit date within the series. Finer AU examples often stand in for UNC sets, which this choice AU example especially lustrous considering five points of wear. Medium golden hue has scarcely suffered at all at the hands of circulation as both sides, but especially the reverse, given an admirable impersonation of mint-state quality.
