1857-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle 20A PCGS MS65 (CAC) Ex.SS Central America with 1.5g Pinch and original COA

So, you've just finished reading the Ship of Gold by Gary Kinder on the epic history and contents recovery of the S.S. Central America. You're not alone if you now have the strong urge to seek out and buy a significant piece of this fabled history for yourself. I know I've done it, and many other folks have too.

This presentation from the Columbus Group (as signified by the cobalt blue book cover), is something you truly never see. The original marketing plans called for brown (most common, red and navy blue book covers, depending upon the date of the coin. 

Better yet, the 1857-S $20 Liberty coin is certified in the original gold foil holder by PCGS as MS65, and further endorsed by CAC. Another feature seldom seen is the addition of a separately slabbed pinch of gold from the depths, weighing 1.5 grams.

If you happen to be looking for a complete numismatic package, this is the best of the best for S.S. Central America, and from my personal collection. Why sell it? Well - as collecting goes, we are just custodians and I am now passing the opportunity along to you, one of our loyal customers. Comes complete with original matching Certificates of Authenticity.
