<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hunt1, post: 1426056, member: 25971&quot;]Forget the CSA factor, but do you know the standards to actually GET the ss republic designation. It&#039;s not a proven thing. It&#039;s either you submit batches (by you i mean the recovery team) - (An example is the oddysey marine exploration), or it doesn&#039;t get the designation. Even if a Odyssey workers took one of the ACTUAL ss republic recovered coins home, just a single one, and tried to submit it later- it wouldn&#039;t get the designation, because what proof is there. Sure, any conservationist at NCS can see it was affected by salt water, or shipwreck debris, but how can it be proved it was from the ss republic. The burden of proof is on the submitters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Directly from NGC&#039;s website;</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;NGC Shipwreck Certification performs three essential functions. First, the most important component of any shipwreck artifact is the <b>documentation of its origins</b>, and NGC Shipwreck Certification provides independent assurance of the pedigree of recovered artifacts. Second, NGC Shipwreck Certification also evaluates the condition of recovered artifacts using the only grading scale for shipwreck effect coinage. And third, NGC applies a suite of independent criteria to confirm that coins have been <b>recovered in an archaeologically sound manner</b>&quot;</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i></i>You can also get more informaion by this video;</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcyH0H0ggtA" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcyH0H0ggtA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcyH0H0ggtA</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
