1860-OSS Republic Shipwreck Treasure Liberty Seated 50c Fifty Cent Silver Half Dollar Coin

Issuing Country: United States

Presented: Certified and Slabbedby PCGS

Bound for New Orleans from New York with passengers and commercial cargo, the sidewheel steamship SS Republic was lost in a violent hurricane on October 25 1865. In August 2003, Odyssey located the shipwreck at a depth of approximately 1,700 feet in the Atlantic Ocean about 100 miles east of Savannah, Georgia.
During archaeological excavation of the site, coins were picked up individually by the Remotely Operated Vehicle \'Zeus\' with a delicate limpet to protect the coins surfaces. Each coin was carefully conserved and encased in a Tamper-resistant holder with a unique bar-coded label from the Numismatic Guarantee Corporation.

Why is a Certified coin a better investment?

PCGS & NGC are the main two impartial Numismatic Grading Services in the world and is a guarantee that the coin is genuine and has been graded accurately and professionally.

The sonically sealed solid plastic slabb is individually numbered so that the details of the coin(s) can be verified on a central database, and is also tamperproof.
In addition, the coin is protected from handling and keeps the coin(s) condition and finish long term if looked after which can be detrimental to the value once sold.
