^Lot 513 UNITED STATES, clump of eight Seated Liberty silver half dollars, very rare provenance.

UNITED STATES, clump of eight Seated Liberty silver half dollars, very rare provenance. 104.60 grams. roughly 2½" x 1¼". Interesting "fallen stack" of coins as originally found on the wreck with heavy rusty encrustation and eight darkened half dollars, one of which is an arrows-at-date type while another bears a New Orleans mintmark. There are several impressions of other coins around the sides of the clump, illustrating how the wreck site was covered in piles of coins. Overall a rare artifact from this wreck as most coins were cleaned up, slabbed, and sold individually. Recovered from: S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia
