    I would love to own one of the coins still embedded in ocean debris. They said they were too far gone for restoration... but I love the story and uniqueness of them still that crusty.

    You know, the "What's any social media?" jokes really get tiresome, find some new material. Please. Really.

    Makes me think your ancestors did the same thing. "What's a car?", "What's bacteria", and so on...

    Awesome photos!

    Has any more information been released about these being sold? Not by mass marketing groups or from stock photos of course.

    I'm not able to see what you are talking about. Can you crop the image to point it out?

    EDIT: I think I know what you are talking about. That is two coins that have "welded" together by sea junk. They just left them as is.

    Enjoyed seeing the photos,
    BUT I will not join Instagram, Twitter, and especially Facebook.
    I'm old school.

    I'm on the fence on all this recovered gold - I lean toward environmentally damaged.

    I like the rusty, environmentally damaged ones too. Here's a closer look at them.
