Message:: [QUOTE="Ed23, post: 2133065, member: 32117"]Ah, the truth surfaces  ... everyone who disagrees with your way of thinking is some kind of whacko conspiracy theorist. One might wonder had you had been asked, might have said melt all the large hoards of silver and gold coins discovered in the 20th century from the Atocha, SS Republic, SS Central America, the Bother Jonathon to the Saddle Ridge Hoard all because, heaven forbid, they were encrusted with the elements and might have to be restored by a conservator. BTW these were buried a lot longer than the SS City of Cairo by a century or more. The trouble with your way of thinking is you think so narrowly that you only consider selling such finds to coin collectors, legit dealers and serious numismatists. You overlook the fact that most of those buying small value silver coins today do not identify their nitch in any of those VERY SMALL LIMITED groups. But then your narrow minded approach to disposing of discoveries such as this one is why you will never be consulted on what to do in such matters. BTW the "holey", as you used it in "Holey smokes", means something that contains lots of holes, as your theory on this matter certainly supplies.[/QUOTE]
