Historic Coins Found After a 12-Year Search
After an extensive search, the deep-ocean archaeologists of Odyssey Marine Exploration located the SS Republic®, a Civil War-era paddlewheel steamship lost in a violent hurricane off the Georgia coast in October 1865. In her hold was a king’s ransom in gold and silver U.S. coins bound to rebuild New Orleans after the Civil War. The recovery of the SS Republic® treasure has garnered front-page headlines worldwide and is the subject of a National Geographic TV special.

The Mysterious “O” Discovery
As the coins came up from 1,700 feet beneath the Atlantic, the Odyssey team was stunned to see magnificent U.S. silver “Seated Liberty” half dollars dated from before the outbreak of the Civil War. But the biggest surprise was that many bore an “O” mintmark from the long-closed New Orleans Mint, the only mint in our U.S. history to be operated by three different governments: The U.S., the State of Louisiana, and the Confederate States of America.

Deluxe Display Case


Your coin comes beautifully displayed in a deluxe presentation case and accompanied by a fact-filled storybook and an exciting DVD documenting the discovery of the SS Republic®.
