Struck in 2025 as a commemorative restrike, this 1849 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle in PCGS SP-68 represents a remarkable fusion of historic design and recovered treasure gold. The piece was produced using gold refined from ingots recovered from the wreck of the SS Central America, directly linking it to one of the most storied maritime losses of the California Gold Rush era. Its Specimen striking yields razor-sharp detail, deeply mirrored fields, and a distinctive presentation far beyond standard Mint State examples.
The surfaces are virtually pristine, with exceptional reflectivity and bold contrast enhancing the classic Longacre design. Liberty’s portrait and the reverse eagle are rendered with remarkable precision, while the rich, original color reflects the unique metallurgical character of the shipwreck gold. The coin stands as both a technical achievement and a historical tribute.
PCGS reports a population of 253 in SP-68, with 372 finer. This is an important modern restrike issue tied to one of the most famous sources of recovered American gold.
