1852 $10 Liberty Head Eagle PCGS VF35 Ex.SS Central America

SOLD
SKU
SSCA6912

Here's a more affordable artifact from the tragic wreck of the SS Central America in its assigned grade. According to the exclusive PCGS Gold Foil Label, this is coin #6912 to be retrieved from the Central America. PCGS has graded 21 as VF35 with 511 finer.

It's amazing to consider that the coin currently being offered by AUCM was sitting at the bottom of the ocean for a good 130 years. The vessel landed under 8,000 feet of water: a dark, freezing, and unwelcoming place where there was no current or disturbance whatsoever. Additionally, gold is a stable metal and contact with salt water has little effect. Even more, and most importantly, the vast majority of the coins retrieved from the ship were packed in wooden boxes that were tightly stacked, giving them even more protection from the elements.
