<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshua Lemons, post: 26397354, member: 82388&quot;]I don&#039;t collect shipwreck coinage. But, one of the highlights of my IMEX visit Friday was seeing the SS Central America exhibit.&nbsp; They had coins, gold bars, etc. from the wreckage on display, plus a wealth of information about the finding and recovery of the artifacts. One of my favorite things were the coin &quot;fossils&quot;, layers of rust that had built up around coins leaving an impression of the coins! It wasn&#039;t a huge display, but was very informative and well put together. </p><p><br /></p><p>I talked a good 30 minutes or so with Bob Evans, the lead researcher of the find and he was more than willing to answer my questions about the wreckage and such.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He gave me his card and he has a blog specifically related to this ship wreck if anyone is interested.
