Certified authentic finds from the famous “Ship of Gold”…
California Gold Rush Nuggets
recovered from the Wreck of the SS Central America
The SS Central America was nicknamed “Ship of Gold” because of her famous cargo – over $300,000,000 (in today’s dollars) of precious, sought after California Gold Rush gold. It was a disaster of immense proportions when she sank 160 miles off the coast of South Carolina in the summer of 1857. A fortune in gold coins, gold dust and raw nuggets were thought lost forever as they settled 8,000 feet down on the ocean floor.
Finally, in 1988, advances in marine salvage technology opened the door to its recovery. Imagine the salvage crew’s shock when they discovered an intact safe holding pouches filled with hundreds of gold nuggets, all originating in the California Gold Rush! Now many of these unique nuggets have been authenticated and certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as SS Central America Gold Rush treasure. Each one contains genuine nuggets weighing a total of .5 gm, and is sealed and certified in an PCGS tamper proof holder. Comes with historical monograph on the California Gold Rush and the SS Central America. Limited availability -- order yours now!
