<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 3007984, member: 77704&quot;]Bob Evans, the chief curator of this recent hoard, pretty well said that he and the current owner of this recent salvage operation will offer these at more realistic prices. They had 3100 1857-S examples, that had just been brought up, expertly r</p><p>cleaned, now are ready to sell. He also stated that there are thousands more to be salvaged, in future recovery efforts. Total number could be over 119,000 coins=lots of collectors can now own a MS 1857-S $20 gold piece.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> JMHO: Sorry, my mistake that 1908 &quot;no motto&quot; was&nbsp; $2000, I got it last yr from Stacks/Bowers. I got it mixed up with a MS-66 1928 I won from Heritage. I am really not talking about mintages, since FDR had most melted down in 1934. Here we had a ship that went down with 119K 1857-S Double Eagles, which will probably all be recovered. I highly doubt that there are 119K&nbsp; examples from any other year, mint around today/ esp. in perfect quality. US coin prices have been dropping for some time now, due most were overpriced compared to world prices. </p><p>John</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: Here is a coin from my coll. (FDC/ only 12-15 known/ got it for less then 5K. [ATTACH=full]745534[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
