Lot of 10 PCGS slabs, each containing 1.5 grams of gold dust and flakes from the S.S. Central America (1857). This wreck was famous for its yield of gold coins and large gold bars, but just as interesting was the massive amount of dust and flakes and small nuggets, which not only were "mined twice" (because the modern salvagers had to sluice the gold from the sand just like the original miners did) but also represent the miners' personal fortunes as they were coming back to the East. This lot presents a very marketable grouping of pre-packaged dust and flakes with official "gold tags" from PCGS. From the S.S. Central America (1857).
