I was chatting with one of my favorite dealers George Huang from Legend about coins on my want list as I've been toying with the idea of putting together a 12 piece gold type set. I told him that this Shipwreck coin was near the top of the list regardless if I decided to go down that road. Doug Winter in one of his awesome articles mentioned this was a coin to strongly consider for inclusion.
George went to work with the mandate of the following: great appearance, no spots or corrosion, CAC, original packaging and just as importantly a coin he approved. George is the pickiest buyer I know and I trust his eye. The result was this two tone coin. I love it......mark

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

George is indeed a great grader!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Now hold the slab by the label area and gently slap the coin portion at the edge of the slab against your inner thigh until it straightens in the holder.
Make sure you slap closer to your knee and not your groin as it's about rotating the coin not getting excited

I can see why you wanted the packaging, as it is nicely done.
Can't wait to see what may follow if you choose to pursue the gold set.

Went to the bottom of the ocean over 150 years ago, salvaged by robot from thousands of feet down, and still virtually mark free with whipped-cream luster. Consider me amazed.
Couldn't agree more...amazing!
However, I don't think I'll ever understand the grading of these heavily cleaned/restored coins without qualifiers on the label.
