We are proud to present an extraordinary piece of American history—the 1857-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle from the famous SS Central America shipwreck, graded MS64 by PCGS and bearing the prestigious CAC seal. This coin is not only a stunning example of 19th-century gold coinage but also a tangible link to one of the most significant maritime tragedies in U.S. history.

This 1857-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle was recovered from the wreckage of the SS Central America, known as the "Ship of Gold." The SS Central America sank in a hurricane off the coast of North Carolina in 1857 while carrying tons of gold destined for the East Coast. The loss contributed to the Panic of 1857, a significant financial crisis. Coins recovered from this shipwreck are highly prized for their historical significance and remarkable state of preservation.

The $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, designed by James B. Longacre, features Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY" on the obverse, and a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast on the reverse. This iconic design represents the strength and resilience of the United States during a time of rapid growth and change.

The 1857-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle from the SS Central America, graded MS64 by PCGS with CAC approval, is more than just a coin—it's a piece of American history. Its exceptional quality, combined with the captivating story of the SS Central America shipwreck, makes it a must-have for serious collectors and history enthusiasts alike. This coin not only embodies the artistry and craftsmanship of 19th-century U.S. minting but also serves as a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in American history. Owning this coin means holding a treasure from the depths of the sea, preserved in remarkable condition for future generations.
