PCGS MS64 CAC • S.S. Central America Shipwreck • Complete Original Treasure Presentation
Few American coins combine historical significance, beauty, and provenance like the 1857-S Liberty Head Double Eagle recovered from the legendary S.S. Central America, the famous “Ship of Gold.”
Lost in a hurricane on September 12, 1857, while carrying California Gold Rush treasure to New York, the sinking contributed to the financial Panic of 1857. More than 130 years later, the ship was discovered nearly 7,200 feet beneath the Atlantic, yielding one of the greatest treasure recoveries in history.
Certified PCGS MS64 and approved by CAC, this exceptional Double Eagle displays outstanding original mint luster and eye appeal, making it a premium example within the grade.
