<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinage86, post: 189417, member: 7584&quot;]There is a national geographic ad running this month.&nbsp; The Odyssey salvage company is offering the Liberty seated half dollars for $1000 each, graded by NGC.&nbsp; Sounds like the Odyssey is trying to hyoe up the SS Republic ship wreck.&nbsp; It did have a lot of coinage in the wreck.&nbsp;&nbsp; At first The advertised offer sounded pretty good, but Odyssey is offering the coins at book prices, or average retail.&nbsp;&nbsp; The greysheer or coin show prices are probably cheaper.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any of you think the SS Republic coins&nbsp; should a premium?&nbsp; &nbsp; .. the ad specifically offered New Orleans minted coins, I think the ad was offering 1860-o.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nice find for the Odyssey group, but why make them wealthier than they already are. right?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ....if you are not familiar with the Odyssey salvage story, SS Republic sank in 1865 enroute from New York to New Orleans.&nbsp;&nbsp; The hoard of gold and silver was supposedly an attempt to bail out the New Orleans Economy (142 years later, N.O. is in the crapper again.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
