I don't have any slabed coins left yet. But I'm pretty sure a pirates parrot test approved this one
I cannot wait to see what the Colombian government pulls up from the San Jose wreck, supposed to be the largest recovery of all time.

I don't know about all this hype of Shipwreck Effect??
Doesn't say recovered from bla bla bla...
Should say recovered shipwreck coins, finely aged in saltwater.
I guess the shipwreck certification is what to look at...
The label just doesn't do anything for me.
I'd like to have a Nuestra Señora de Atocha gold/silver bar.
I wish I could!

From the RMS Douro shipwreck in 1882 (and recovered in 1996).
You guys kill me, if I worked at it, I could get the change out of the cup holder of a local who launched his Skeeter and started chasing bass without the drainplug.
I worked on a shrimp boat in the Keys during Fisher’s tribulations and minor successes when he had stuff to display.
I have one shipwrecked coin, it’s some Dutch coin with a big “V” on it, maybe it spelled “VOC”, I forgot.
Pictures when I can find it.
Edit: Here it is.
