<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3064114, member: 78244&quot;][USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER] Just out of curiosity, where do you get your number of 119,000 1857 S double eagles on the SS Central America? I was looking into it, and the numbers just don’t add up. Not only is the exact number of 1857 S double eagles on board not known, but the $2,000,000 in specie on board (in 1857 dollars) means there was about 100,000 ounces of gold on board. Now considering that a vast amount of that number was gold ingots/nuggets/dust, the number of 1857 S double eagles would have to be far less than 100,000. And they were not the only gold coin recovered. Lots of 1856 S double eagles and hundreds of other gold coins have also been recovered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
