Has anyone heard anything about what the rarest coin is coming out of the SS Central America hoard?

Round II?
Seems to be the 1857-S Three MS67, anything else?

So far that it is from what I've seen, but I don't think they have finished grading everything.

Are you referring to the rarest coin or at the highest grade? Or both? Cheers, RickO

There was a 55-O $5 in MS62 (or 63) which is the new finest known for the date. Rare coin in any condition.

Unreal. Dilute the market with introducing of new material yet ask more than the going rate..

Which is exactly what happened in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's as the USTreasury, and a number of major US bank silver dollar hoards were unleashed by the millions. It helped lead to a boom in the US silver dollar market. While a few formerly rare dates got crushed to nothing....most better dates did better as supply increased. It didn't hurt that the 1962-2008 coin market boom was in sync with a baby boomer economic boom cycle.
