<p>[QUOTE="ahearn, post: 597341, member: 18211"]In my experience, "tourist" coins are typically about 50%-100% overpriced (Atocha coins excepted), but people who buy these types of shipwreck objects (the objects can be coins or other artifacts) will likely keep them forever and have no interest in the numismatic value. I wouldn't say they are foolish for paying more than numismatic value if their purpose is not collecting or reselling. Heck, people have paid thousands of dollars for chunks of concrete from the Berlin Wall or trinkets from the Titanic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
