During my daily email check I spied the headline and hadn't heard about the lock box before now. Pretty cool reading about the contents inside and what coins were circulating at the time.

I hadn't seen this posted on the forum at least in this one and decided to share it.

This is what I have been waiting for, information about the silver coins found. The SS Central America is a fascinating topic, but the gold coins are beyond the means of the vast number of modest collectors. These silver coins hold the possibility of even the "small budget" collector having a chance to have a piece from this historic wreck.
