Hello folks - I don't get on this side of the forums much so I don't know if these have been shown here before. These are pictures of the gold and silver coins found in the wreck of the SS Republic sank in a hurricane in 1865. There are so many and the attempt is being made to salvage them one at a time so as not to "scratch" them for numismatic reasons. They estimate each coin will be worth $20,000 - but if this many hit the market can that possibly be? Thanks for letting a darksider on for a bit.
I will only add these as attachments so you don't have to open them if you don't want - for those with dial-ups although all are small.

If it sank SE of Savannah, it's right out there off our coast- I can look out the window and see that part of the Atlantic!
Cool- thanks for the update. Where'd you get the pics from?

I thought it was 100+ miles off shore in international waters - You can se that far?
