Historic Coins Found After a 12-Year Search
The recovery of coins and other artifacts from the SS Republic® is the culmination of searching more than 1,500 square miles over 12 years. Odyssey Marine Exploration searched more than 1,000 square miles of ocean floor in 2002 and 2003 alone. In 2003, Odyssey discovered the prize that represented every explorer's dream. Using side-scan sonar technology and high-tech deep ocean robots, the SS Republic® was seen for the first time since she disappeared under the waves in 1865. After an archaeological pre-disturbance srvey, the first coins were brough to the surface in late 2003. Now, you can actually own the bounty of this amazing qwest.
Found Inside the Vaults of Odyssey Marine Exploration
As we methodically examined each SS Republic® treasure coin, we came upon the 1856-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar, a coin that turned 150 years old this year, and a coin we simply couldn’t pass up. This coin should easily sell for $1,495, but with some arm twisting at Odyssey, we are able to offer this spectacular 150-year-old coin for only $996 – the lowest price we’ve ever offered for an SS Republic® coin! Your coin comes beautifully displayed in a deluxe presentation case and accompanied by a fact-filled storybook and an exciting DVD documenting the discovery of the SS Republic®.
