Central America carried the most talked about treasure in American history. A book about the ship and its fabulous cargo, Ship of Gold, In The Deep Blue Sea, was on the New York Times Best Seller List. From 1852 to 1857: This pre- Civil War Central America Steamship transported an estimated one-third of the entire California Gold Rush output. That one-third was valued at the time at approximately $150 million+ The precious cargo included approximately 6,650 recently-minted $20- denomination ("Double Eagle") gold pieces produced from 1854-1857 at the San Francisco Mint. The gold for these coins was mined during the California Gold Rush. There also was a much smaller quantity of other historic gold coins that circulated in the Wild West from private Assayers that are pretty valuable as well.
