Certified authentic finds from the famous “Ship of Gold” …
California Gold 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 actual gold dust originating in the California Gold Rush! That gold was then sent to Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) to be authenticated and certified as SS Central America Gold Rush treasure. Now you have the chance to add some of this buried treasure to your collection. Each tamper proof holder contains a “pinch” of gold dust weighing about a total of .25 gm and is sonically sealed with a PCGS authentication label. Comes with historical monograph of the California Gold Rush and the SS Central America. Limited availability – order yours now!
