<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinage86, post: 189993, member: 7584&quot;]I saw a documentary they filmed during the salvage.&nbsp; The coins were dipped in some sort of electrolyte solution to prevent any saltwater dmage.&nbsp; Im not saying the coins dont have any saltwater damage;&nbsp; I dont know.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an interesting piece of trivia.&nbsp; They lowered a kettle down to the wreck to put the coins in.&nbsp; They went shopping at a 99-cent store and bought some sort of rubber matting to separate the coins in the kettle so they wouldnt get scratched.&nbsp; The coins are hype, unless theres some rare varieties.&nbsp;&nbsp; The SS Republic is a perfect example though of this:&nbsp; more higher grade specimens that have been graded (assuming no salt corrosion.) thus more high grades means lower prices at those grades.&nbsp; (not that the average collector can afford the top grade coins)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
