Or he may be all to well aware of it and decided not to say so because a lot of folks don&#039;t like or want sea salvaged coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, of course there are. These are fairly common coins and it is not hard to find examples that are undamaged by salt water.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t see anything that makes me think it is not a genuine coin. You can weigh it, but it is almost certainly going to be underweight because of the corrosion. So weighing it really isn&#039;t going to prove anything either way.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for value, what K2 said is about right. But I myself would never buy such a coin, even for $30, because they are damaged coins and I know how easy it is to find undamaged examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>And while the coin has a certain &quot;cool factor&quot; because it is a shipwreck coin, that &quot;cool factor&quot; doesn&#039;t change anything for me. For others, perhaps it might.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
