<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jgenn, post: 26133954, member: 78525&quot;]The shipwreck salvage area is tricky for collectors that want a real artifact from an actual shipwreck.&nbsp; Often things purporting to be such items are sold without a certificate of authenticity from a legitimate salvage company.&nbsp; And due to the damage done to coins by resting in seawater they are really difficult or impossible to make a guess at authenticity -- the appearance alone is just not enough evidence.&nbsp; And coins put into a bezel can&#039;t even be weighed or assessed for specific gravity to see if they are close to nominal.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The point I want to make is that coin collectors need to be aware of forgeries and shipwreck coins are the easiest to forge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
