This week’s featured item is the the 1857-S PCGS MS62 S.S. Central America 20D Bold 7, Faint S $20 Gold Double Eagle! Minting of the $20 Gold Double Eagle was authorized by the U.S. government as a result of the California Gold Rush. Over 7,000 gold coins, mostly $20 Gold Double Eagles produced by the newly opened San Francisco Mint (est. 1854) were recovered from the S.S. Central America Shipwreck.
