<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldEagle, post: 10054, member: 950&quot;]I did a search and did not find a discussion of this topic so here goes...</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, the coins from the SS Republic shipwreck were made available for purchase to the public.&nbsp; They are not exactly inexpensive to put it mildly...The least expensive coin I&#039;ve seen so far, an 1858-O Seated Half, certified by NGC, sells for around a thousand dollars.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I discussed this with the local dealer here in town today and his opinion is that it is insane to pay that amount for these coins.&nbsp; I can&#039;t disagree with that but, I must ask...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Will these coins eventually become more reasonably priced or will they continue to increase in value as the supply becomes more scarce?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I know that no one has a crystal ball and can accurately foresee what is going to happen but I would enjoy reading some of your opinions regarding these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that these coins were retrieved from a shipwreck in 1865, 100 miles off of the Georgia coast is fascinating to me, but, $1000 dollars, for a single coin is somewhat steep.&nbsp; I can&#039;t go for that.&nbsp; No can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
