    Did you notice the box of coins that the actor portraying Mr. Pulaski was looking at included Kennedy halves and an Ike dollar?

    It would have been so easy to get something from the period…….I hate when producers don’t pay attention to details like that.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Maybe if they pull up enough of them we could purchase one 🤔

    What TV show is this?? Not much of a TV watcher, so not up to date on series/programs. Cheers, RickO

    Yes, I just saw a rerun of this episode.

    I hadn't heard of the Pulaski and it's hoard of Classic Head half eagles. They have sold a few through AU Capital Management although the salvors believe that "98%" of the treasure is yet to be recovered. How many have been recovered? Do the POP reports show them?

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.

    The episode is on the Discovery Channel right now. It’s a re-run but is a fascinating episode of the Pulaski shipwreck, the discovery of rare U.S. gold and silver coins, and the NCS conservation and NGC encapsulation.

    Mint Error News exclusively interviewed Dave Camire of NGC and NCS.
