<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 24156, member: 487&quot;]One major thing that some of the recent shipwreck recoveries have done is prove the existence of certain coins or mints. With the bars recovered on the Central America wreck, many older bars were proven to be forgeries. This shook up the numismatic community. </p><p>Shipwreck coins often bring new collectors to the fold, so most dealers welcome the coins into the market.</p><p>What we (dealers) hate, is the Mint or Government &quot;FINDS&quot; coins and releases them to the public at below current prices. The GSA hoards buried many dealers. </p><p>A couple of years back the Mint &quot;FOUND&quot; 1999 quarters and wanted to sell them at levels much lower than the current market prices. </p><p>Luckily, many jumped on the bandwagon and the Mint decided that these particular coins did not remain in good enough quality to be sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
