<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 4080782, member: 77704"]All of the SS-Central America hoard coins/ mostly 1857-S Double Eagles have been brought up in different salvage operations. All of these where freshly struck, San Francisco Mint examples. But, after lying at the bottom of the Atlantic for 150+ years, they needed professional cleaning. So experts in the field removed sand/ rust/ salt deposits. In the end, coin surfaces where not damaged/ altered and coins all where graded as MS-60-68 with no details. However, I have seen many coins with UNC details/cleaned. This ex. still has some rust stains.[ATTACH=full]1064331[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1064332[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
