“1849” (2025) PCGS GEM Uncirculated SSCA Commemorative Restrike – Gold-Plated Silver

A striking modern commemorative restrike inspired by the legendary 1849 Liberty Head Double Eagle and the historic S.S. Central America Gold Rush story. This 2025 issue is certified by PCGS as GEM Uncirculated, giving collectors a beautifully preserved, slabbed example with strong visual appeal.

The piece is struck in silver with gold plating, offering the look of a classic gold-era design while remaining an accessible commemorative collectible. The “1849” date pays tribute to the California Gold Rush period, while the SSCA theme connects the design to one of the most famous treasure shipwreck stories in American numismatic history.

This is a modern commemorative restrike, not an original 1849 gold coin, making it ideal for collectors who enjoy historic tribute pieces, shipwreck-themed issues, Gold Rush designs, and PCGS-certified presentation pieces.
