Part of the first recovery from the S.S. Central America, and one of the few coins that possess magnificent toning! We note that just last month, during the ANA auctions, Heritage sold a SSCA#2 (with Pinch) PCGS AU58 for a whopping $24,000-! EVERYBODY LOVES COLOR!!! (and they are always willing to pay for it)...
The Heritage description LINK reads as follows:
Bob Evans Signature. White-gold surfaces are joined, on the obverse, with a delectable array of rose-russet, steel-blue, orange, and even royal-purple. Only the blue steel makes an appearance on the reverse. While the most famous recovery from the S.S. Central America shipwreck was the plethora of 1857-S double eagles, many other coins were present too. This coin is certified in the special PCGS holder for the shipwreck with a pinch of California gold dust.
