Its a quintessential coin for collectors with an appreciation for historical significance and the artistry of business strikes.Certified by NGC with the unique certification number 2128724-003, this coin has not been modified and retains its original attributes.

The SHIPWRECK EFFECT grade adds a distinctiveness that resonates with both numismatists and history enthusiasts alike. NGC has graded this AU - and you can see it in the amazing details! The reverse shows the signs of saltwater on this beautiful coin, what a crazy story that this coin has endured. For those that arent aware - heres a brief history on the SS Republic:

TheRepublicleft New York on October 18, 1865, bound for New Orleans. According to her captain, she was carrying passengers and a cargo of $400,000 in coins, mostly in gold $10 and $20 pieces, intended for use as hardcurrencyafter the Civil War. The city of New Orleans, captured largely intact by the Union in 1862, had been the southern hub of Federal war efforts and was a thriving, busy city – but due to war, "hard money" (or gold and silver coin) was in very short supply.

On the fifth day of her voyage, a hurricane off the coast ofGeorgiaproved too strong for the ship. By evening, her hull was leaking so badly that the fire in the boiler was extinguished, and she stalled in heavy seas, taking on water faster than her crew and passengers could bail her. At 4 pm on October 25, 1865, she sank. The passengers and crew escaped in fourlifeboatsand a makeshift raft, but 40-foot seas throughout the night made keeping them afloat a serious challenge. It was not until two days later, on October 27 that the survivors, now desperate with thirst, were found by the sailing shipHorace Beals. On October 29, the steamerGeneral Hookerhad been sent to look for theRepublic, and rendezvoused withHorace Beals. The passengers were transferred and taken to Charleston. Most of the passengers and crew survived, although several were lost on the raft before they could be rescued. All the coins were lost.

The wreck was discovered in 2003, and now youve got a chance to own part of that history!
