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.

Gold Commemoratives-Gold Commemoratives
A planchet flaw in front of Clark's lip adds a touch of interest to this yellow example. The strike is not quite as full as is often seen, perhaps due to well-aged dies that are starting to show a bit of orange peel effect.
