S.S. Central America Shipwreck Coins

Historic 1857 Shipwreck Treasures
Released by Austin Rare Coins...

In August of 1857, some 400 passengers left the Vallejo Street Wharf in San Francisco headed from the California Gold Rush back east, first by steamship to Panama, then over the isthmus by railroad– and finally aboard the S.S. Central America steamship headed for New York. Little did these adventurers on board the "Ship of Gold" realize they were headed toward a watery grave in the Atlantic Ocean.

On that tragic day in September of 1857, the mail steamship S.S. Central America was battered by a fierce hurricane off the coast of the Carolinas. Within a few hours, over 500 passengers and a treasure ship full of gold sunk to a watery grave where they remained beneath the Atlantic Ocean for the next 130 years.

Thanks to the recent advent of underwater robots, items from famous shipwrecks like the Titanic and the S.S. Central America have been brought to the surface and saved. The newest deep sea recovery technology was used to bring up and preserve these historic National Treasures. Austin Rare Coins is proud to offer to the American public a rare opportunity to acquire one of these important pieces of California Gold Rush history.

1857 Shipwreck Gold Coins Salvaged

Without a doubt, the gold aboard the S.S. Central America shipwreck of 1857 is one of our country's most important gold hoards. It's been called “America’s Lost Treasure” and is often compared to the Crown Jewels of England or King Tut’s Tomb. Indeed, among the contents of his gold treasure ship are priceless pieces of American history and items of inestimable value– worth far more than ordinary collections of precious metals or rare coins.

On Board Was a Hoard of Pre-Civil Gold Coins
This amazing shipwreck had on board tons of California gold bars– and a treasure chest filled with $20 Liberty gold coins, dated 1857. These coins were newly minted from the San Francisco Mint and were preserved underwater in gem, mint condition.

Since these 1857 gold coins were salvaged from the ocean floor, each one has been certified authentic and graded by PCGS. Each coin was placed in a specially sealed holder along with it's unique Pedigree designation "S.S. Central America" to forever guarantee the originality of these rare, National Treasures.
