1857-S MS-60. 1857-S MS-60.
Lot Title: 1857-S MS-60.
Description: This mattelike yellow-gold specimen presents the appearance of being exposed to a saltwater environment for an extended period of time. There are clusters of light hairline, minor ticks, and delicate scratches observed on a piece not subjected to actual circulation.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $2,000.00
High Estimate: $2,200.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

1192The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$8,250.00
1857-S PCGS MS-64 (gold label, S.S. Central America).
Variety 20-C "narrow serif". S.S. Central America, 3956. Interesting threads of butternut-orange toning accent the lower obverse, and the rims are kissed in similar tone, providing a more unusual...
871The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$3,200.00
1857-S 20D/ Bold 7/ Faint S/ S.S. Central America. PCGS AU-55.
While the great S.S Central America hoard featured a literal treasure trove of uncirculated gold, many coins pedigreed to that underwater discovery are quite expensive even in lower mint-state...
1224The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$2,400.00
1857-S AU.
Although 1857-S is not a key to the double-eagle series, any double-eagle dated in the 1850s in better AU grades is difficult to find, and this is a nice one. About 75% of the original luster...
1225The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$5,250.00
1857-S 20C/ Narrow Serif/ S.S. Central America. PCGS MS-63.
(Ex. S.S. Central America SSCA 4351) Beaming with intense, frosty mint luster and pale gold color. Remarkably free of abrasions in light of just an MS-63 grade.
1091The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$900.00
1857-S XF.
If a collector required a model Coronet double-eagle for the grade of "extremely fine", this coin couldn't be beat. This is an unconditionally perfect XF-40, with the proper amount of underlying mint...
996The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$4,900.00
1857-S Coronet double-eagle, NGC MS-63
A boldly defined, gleaming example that looks very much like many of the coins brought up from the wreck of the S.S. Central America, though the slab insert does not indicate such. A scattering of...
1146The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$2,800.00
1857-S 20B Bold S. S.S. Central America PCGS AU-55.
Flaxen-gold surfaces feature booming luster and a very good strike. The “Bold S” is a scarcer variety from the Central America treasure. Housed in a gold label PCGS holder.
1147The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$6,750.00
1857-S PCGS MS-64.
Despite the conservation effort that was required to return coins from the S.S. Central America treasure hoard to collectable condition, the “spiked shield” example offered here faces up as a nice,...
434The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,100.00
1857-S NGC AU-55.
This lightly circulated example preserves a good amount of original luster. There are some scattered marks and scuffs, as would be expected, on its charming yellow-orange surfaces. It is...
