<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 584577, member: 5233&quot;]So, yesterday I was down at the mall here in town and I discovered they had a traveling exhibit of artifacts from the RMS Titanic.&nbsp; I thought it would be fun to go and look at them so I did.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In one of the cases was a small collection of coins and currency recovered from the wreck.&nbsp; There was a $1 Black Eagle silver certificate as well as a 1907 $5 note.&nbsp; There were also a couple silver coins in the case.&nbsp; A couple British coins (which I don&#039;t know much about) and a set of common date Barbers (dime, quarter, and half).&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t take pictures in there...so I don&#039;t have any but it was cool to see.&nbsp; But, what bothered me was the condition of the coins.&nbsp; They had been &quot;restored&quot; for the display and it looked as if steel wool had been used on them.&nbsp; I knew at that moment that this hobby had changed me forever as I was looking at recovered artifacts from the wreck and all I could think about was how those poor coins had been treated.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
