Authentic Gold Coins from the S.S. Republic Shipwreck
Acquire a legendary piece of American history with a rare U.S.
gold coin from the S.S. Republic shipwreck site.
In the aftermath of the Civil War, the challenge of Reconstruction
loomed threateningly on the horizon. In 1865, the S.S.
Republic set sail from New York. Its destination: New
Orleans. Its cargo: a shipment of gold coins that today would be
a treasure. Unfortunately the S.S. Republic sailed into the heart
of one of the worst hurricanes to ever hit the East coast. On October
25th, 1865, the Republic sank off the coast of Savannah, Georgia.
Nearly 140 years later, in one of the most daring salvage
operations ever undertaken, the Republic's cargo
of rare coins was recovered. And now, you can share in the riches.
