Description

1853-P Liberty Gold Eagle PCGS AU55 SS Central America Shipwreck PQ+. With Pinch of Gold
The obverse and reverse have nice proof like characteristics as seen.
Less than 40 of this date were recovered in all grades. A very rare denomination and date.
SSCA that comes complete with original shipwreck packaging.
Conservatively graded from the second recovery a few years ago in our opinion. VERY nice for the grade. This coin displays some original orange peel gold with hints of attractive golden red toning on the obverse. I’ve seen this on some of the first examples that were recovered. These Double Eagles were some of the first coins on the stack of ’s that laid on the ocean floor.
This 1853 SS Central America shipwreck specimen has been off the market for years. You are buying this coin exactly as I did. Stored in a family collection.
This is the beautiful PCGS AU55 specimen. A superb S.S. Central America Shipwreck example that has all the characteristics of a Mint State quality specimen but at a lower price. This coin displays a brilliant orange-gold color, with near perfect surfaces, hard to imagine it was underwater for over 150 years.
Comes with the original display box & certificate of authenticity
Fresh to the market after years of residing in a collectors deposit box. This example is a representative of the SS Central America’s first recovery.
About the SS Central America Shipwreck
The S.S. Central America carried the most talked about treasure in American history. A book about the ship and its fabulous cargo, Ship of Gold, In The Deep Blue Sea, was on the New York Times Best Seller List.
From 1852 to 1857: This pre- Civil War Central America Steamship transported an estimated one-third of the entire California Gold Rush output. That one-third was valued at the time at approximately 0 million+
The precious cargo included approximately 6,650 recently-minted - denomination ("Double Eagle") gold pieces produced from 1854-1857 at the San Francisco Mint. The gold for these coins was mined during the California Gold Rush. There also was a much smaller quantity of other historic gold coins that circulated in the Wild West from private Assayers that are pretty valuable as well.
