Choice AU 1857-S Double Eagle
Ex S.S. Central America 1857-S Dies 20F, No Serif, Right S. SSCA #2939. AU-58 PCGS. Gold S.S. Central America Label. A frosty and highly lustrous honey-gold specimen with robust cartwheel activity and wisps of sunset-orange iridescence here and there. Choice for the grade – this specimen could just as easily be called Mint State for all intents and purposes, as it is that nice. Well-struck and aesthetically appealing.
Try as he might, the present writer cannot ascertain what the designation “Dies 20F, No Serif, Right S” signifies. Every S in the reverse legend has all the pertinent serifs, right down to the S mintmark and the tiny S that is barely visible in PLURIBUS. What can be made out is a raised diagonal die line from the lower left foot of M upward toward the right upright of the A. Further, the upper crossbar of the E in AMERICA is distinctly broken into two parts. Other than that, the writer is stumped!
