Did anyone buy coins of the S.S Republic ship wreck

I don't know if this was asked before, but I was just wondering who did. I say them sold on Coin Vault and wanted one really bad, but the prices were absolutly crazy, nowhere near what I was willing to pay for these.

Be patient, they will slowly make their way to ebay for half of CV prices. And ina few years will be a fraction of what they are now.

Look at one in person and you will see you may no longer want one really badly. There was a thread on this about 2 months ago here on CU, you might want "to dig it up" [no pun intended]

The Franklin Mint El Cazador sets would actually often sell for over that price on eBay.

No. The hype is not worth the price. Cheers, RickO

I looked into buying a New Orleans eagle for my collection but the prices for an overgraded, processed specimen were about 50% greater than what I would expect to pay for an original, non-shipwreck example. To me, it was not worth the premium.

I bought some, more of an impulse buy, I wanted them so I bought them. From time to time on Ebay they come up around 4 to 5 hundred or so for the silver halves. I don't care if I overpaid or if they are not worth anything.
