Description: ER137 Unique Mint Error Broken Collar - Finned Rim 1855 S.S. Central America Shipwreck Kellogg, Commemorative $50 (2.419 OZ) Central America restrike 2001. PCGS PR68 DCAM. This stunning coin was struck using 2.5 ounces of gold recovered from gold ingots from the SS Central America Shipwreck of 1857. Fewer than 5,000 specimens were struck, making this an incredibly scarce and desirable issue from collectors and investors alike. It is very hard to find gold coin mint error especially in proof gold coin. Even silver mint error proof coin sold for high price because it is very hard to find proof coin and collectors are sought after those mint error proof coins. The collar of this coin was broken from 4 o'clock to 8:30 relative to the obverse, resulting in considerable disturbance to the denticles along the lower obverse border as well as all four digits in the date. The denticles along the upper reverse border are also disturbed, although to a lesser extent. A pronounced wire rim (a.k.a. fin) is seen around both sides, but otherwise the strike is normal with the remaining design elements fully and properly rendered. You can also see the year 1855 is double strike. The coin is heavy, it has a super heavy and satisfying feel in the palm. US shipping is free. International shipping will be $110 FedEx or UPS or ask if you want to ship USPS.
