Find Your Sunken Treasure in Peruvian Silver From the SS New York Shipwreck
On September 5th, 1846, the SS New York began its journey from Galveston, Texas with 53 souls on board. Barely 50 miles out to sea, the ship found itself in the path of a major hurricane. By the early hours of September 7th, winds had swung the ship around, leaving her vulnerable to the storm’s massive waves. Two hours later, the New York was lost, taking 17 lives and a small fortune with her.
Eventually, the $40,000 in gold and silver that had been aboard the New York was recovered -- including this 1807 Lima Peru Silver 2 Reales coin, now certified by NGC as official Shipwreck Effect. That effect is absolutely clear as you gaze at this coin. It’s an incredibly storied piece, and a somber reminder of the power of the open sea. Don’t wait for it to disappear again!
