Where should I look to buy shipwreck gold coins?

GoldCoinLover

I want to buy some shipwreck gold coins from the Brother Jonathan shipwreck or any other shipwreck of US gold in the 1800's. Where could I find some of these historic coins? I didn't know what to put in @ ebay. Should I look at ebay? When I was searching for gold coins I found this gold pirate bar for $90,000, (Nearly 100 grand ) If you scroll down there's a picture of some guy holding the bar in his teeth, another picture of the bar laying on uneven concrete. They sure don't take good care of it. It's worth a look: link


Edited to add: The same people selling this gold bar are selling this !! link'

I think that Mel Fisher still sells Atotcha (sp) gold. If his people don't do it still, their museum could certainly tell you where to look.

That guy should get a job with the Home Shopping Network! He looks half in the bag!

There are usually gold coins from these shipwrecks available in the larger Heritage auctions. My advice would be to enlist the help of a gold coin specialist to find a nice example in the grade and price point you are looking. A neat three coin set would include double eagles from the Brother Jonathon, the SS Central America, and SS Republic. Hint: this will cost quite a bit more than $362.
