<p>[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 529838, member: 16060"]The "big" treasure hunting company is located here in Tampa. As far as I know NGC has always handled all their coin restoration and many get slabbed with the shipwreck included on the slab. Others are in a slick presentation frame with some history about the ship and the coin. Usually one dealer broker all the coins sold to the public. I have a DVD that shows a lot this in detail. The problem with shipwreck coins is they have a hudge initial price, but the price falls after all the hoopla. If I understand correctly NGC has someone on the ship when the coins are hoisted up out of the water and Doug is correct they are kept in salt water until the process begins. According to the DVD NGC has a "secret" location where all the coins are taken for restoration. A few people around here invest with this company, and it appears they have done well. I will say it is amazing the before and after pictures of these recovered coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
