I have several coins and a broken Eva Le Gallienne matchstick holder (1899) and egg holder with a turquoise stone embedded on it that came from the shipwreck of USS Charleston, can anyone help me out in assessing the value of these, i'm planning to sell it. I also have coins that came from an unidentified chinese shipwreck. Just check out the attached photos.

Thanks,

I think the first thing to do would be to establish provenance, and have some proof that the items came from the wrecks. The value would be greater, even for a common item if it can be linked to a certain wreck. That's where the value is.
