If you’ve been following along with us lately, there’s a good chance that you’ve read about the excitement surrounding a recent unveiling of SS Central America shipwreck coins. Never heard of the SS Central America? Not to worry, because we have put together an entire page detailing everything you need to know about this ship and the last voyage it would take, resulting in a massive selection of sunken treasure that would sit at the ocean floor for over 120 years.

One of the most massive shipwrecks of its time, the ill-fated journey of the SS Central America has quite the backstory, but the silver (or gold in this case) lining is that a number of the coins that sank to the bottom of the ocean have recently been uncovered.

Collectors, Take Note

As you can probably imagine, this is a big deal for collectors; as a matter of fact, each of the SS Central America shipwreck coins that you’ll find here at Austin Rare Coins has been graded with great care by the PCGS and Bob Evans (the Chief Scientist and curator of the find) has put together a hand-signed certificate of authenticity from the recovery.

Needless to say, these coins have been incredibly popular, but the good news is that we recently got more of these amazing shipwreck coins in. As one of the few dealers who have access to the rare fractional gold coins recovered from the fateful journey of the SS Central America, we are proud to offer them to our clients.

Take a Look at the Entire Selection of Coins

Each coin from the SS Central America (or the “Ship of Gold” as it came to be known) is a rare find indeed. Take this coin for example. Less than fifteen coins were brought up this time around, making it a true treasure for anyone who is lucky enough to get their hands on one. As with all coins from the “Ship of Gold,” it comes with a certificate of authenticity, a beautiful display box, and a coin containing a pinch of California gold dust. Truly a thing to behold, this coin, along with all of the other shipwreck coins we have to offer, is sure to be a treasured addition to any collection.

As we mentioned above, we are fortunate to have received a number of these coins, but they are going quickly. Because supplies are incredibly limited, we recommend adding these coins to your collection today. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to hold such an interesting piece of history in your own two hands!
