    Description

    1853-O Seated Liberty ARROWS & RAYS SS Republic INSCRIBED
    Half Dollar 50c US Coin
    In 1865 the sidewheel steamship SS Republic was on route to New Orleans with a treasure trove of gold and silver to help rebuild the war torn South after the Civil War. Tragically the ship was overcome by a hurricane off the coast of Georgia and sank to the bottom of the ocean where it rested untouched for 139 years until its discovery in 2004. This coin was recovered from that ship. An outstanding coin for any collection.
