A fascinating coin with an equally-fascinating history!

From the very start of my interest in collecting American silver, I knew about the story of the SS Republic, its history as a ship that was connected to both the Union and Confederacy, and its eventual loss beneath the waves of the Gulf of Mexico, along with its precious cargo of gold and silver, and had always wanted to own an example of a coin from the wreck. I can safely say that the one I received is seriously cool! Despite the unique weathering sea water brings to coins over time, it became apparent that the coin I received must have been barely circulated at all before it was consigned to its fate below the waves - it's in outstanding condition. Top marks, I say! I think I might buy a few more of these when I next have the chance :)

Utter and complete disappointment

Your saying “your purchase will meet the quality of the product shown” for the price listed was the best deal I found after looking for several years. Now for what I received looked nothing like your photo especially the obverse. At most the obverse shows barely 10% of the details that are depicted on your site. The only way one can tell the date is from the NGC holder. At this price one should be able read the coins year or at least most of the 4 numbers.
