Shipwreck Coins

Types of Shipwreck Coins

There are a wide variety of shipwreck coins, but buyers should use caution. Not all shipwreck coins are rare and worth collecting. Shipwreck coins vary greatly due to a few factors. Firstly, it matters what country they were struck in. Secondly, the year they were minted. Thirdly, the ship they were carried on, and the condition they were discovered in. Before beginning your collection, we advise spending the time to get to know these different features. 

Authenticity

When it comes to shipwreck coins, authenticity is everything. Since the market is fraught with fakes every buyer, especially newbies need to be careful. The best way to avoid counterfeits is by buying your coins directly from a reputable dealer, such as Austin Rare Coins. All of our shipwreck coins are certified by either NGC or PCGS to be authentic.

Brother Jonathan of 1865, the S.S. Republic of 1865, and the S.S. New York of 1845. All of these coins are original, certified shipwreck recovery coins.
