Ship of Gold Certified shipwreck Silver Dimes - $$$$ ouch

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

I called Universal coin because I got an email from them about the SS Central America recovered coins. They are now selling the Liberty Seated Dimes, in this case a 1853 in F-12 (Red Book $25). It comes with a pinch of gold ($99 their normal price). I asked them what they were selling them for, they said their were "shipwreck" coins and therefore rare.

I asked the price $725! Certified by PCGS. BUT a 25x Redbook is too tough a nut to crack. I can't see them ever, or at least not for a long time, reselling on the used market for that amount!

I could see 3 or 4 hundred for the rarity of it but not $725

But....They are scarce! L.O.L..

Read an ad in an American hunter magazine for them too.
I'll have to pass.
