The Coin Week podcast from January 30 was with Bob Evans the lead scientist on the SS Central America wreckage site. It is a very informative interview! Link here

More 1857-S double eagles for the market to absorb. The most common no motto $20.

Shipwreck provenance means nothing to me. When can I buy one for melt?

What a find!

Although I can't afford to buy a piece, it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to this find.

Buy a PCGS certified MS-64 1857-S Liberty Head double eagle with special SS Central America label. Crack it out, resubmit it and it comes back as MS Details Cleaned.

Dumb as in stupid but funny? Or dumb as in "I can't believe you said that. You should be ashamed."? It's an absurd comment not meant to be taken seriously. I highly doubt that PCGS, with decades of grading experience, would mistake an MS-64 coin for an MS details cleaned coin or vice versa. It's exaggerated grade deflation. Now if I said buy an old green label PCGS coin graded MS-62, crack it out, resubmit it and receive a grade of MS-67+, that would just be an exaggerated jab at the concept of gradeflation. I've heard people say that the grading services are loose with extreme rarities or coins with a pedigree, and strict with common coins or coins without pedigrees. I'm not saying they actually do that. I was just poking fun of the idea through ridiculous exaggeration.
