Went to a "Gold Exhibit" at my local museum today. Was not expecting to see "the" Eureka Bar. There was a full collection of bars and coins from the Central America recovery credited to Dwight Manley and Q.David Bowers as well. One of the neatest was a $20 gold piece with a visible fingerprint that preserved the last time it had been touched by a human being before it went down with the ship.

I've often wondered about that coin... is there proof that it actually came out of the water that way?

And then of course there is always the question of whether Mermaids have fingers capable of making prints?

Interesting point. Anyone aware of the "chain of custody' with regard to the subject coin?

<< <i>They pointed the print out on the original show that was made while the coins were being conserved.
