Authentic Gold Coins from the
S.S. Republic Shipwreck

Republic Shipwreck Gold Coins: Acquire a legendary piece of American history with a rare U.S. gold coin from the S.S. Republic shipwreck site.

S.S. Republic painted by Clement Drew
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 gold coins was recovered. And now, you can share in the riches.

S.S. Republic Shipwreck Gold Coins were featured on the National Geographic Special on PBS.

The wreck of the S.S. Republic was discovered 1,700 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean approximately 100 miles off the Georgia coast.

Recovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration, about one third of the S.S. Republic shipwreck site has been recovered. The face value of recovered coins represents 22.7% of the $400,000 in specie (face value in 1865).
