Being able to buy sunken treasure, they may only collect by check book and the standards of the items community may not matter to the parties. As having one or more of the sunken treasure is more important. Report this Post to the Staff

NGC grades coins like this all the time, they have a grade called "shipwreck effect" many of the SS Republic and SS Central coins are slabbed this way. http://www.ngccoin.com/shipwreck-co...n/index.aspx There are varying degrees of "Shipwreck Damage" assigned then if merited a numerical grade will also be placed, in not then a standard named grade will then be used ie; VF, XF, AU, MS. Quite common really and they have been doing this for at least a decade. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
