Clump of seven USA Seated Liberty half dollars, ex-S.S. Republic (1865), very rare. 80.69 grams; 2" x 1-1/2". Solid, encrusted leaning stack of seven halves as recovered from the SS Republic and quite scarce since most coins were cleaned up, slabbed, and sold individually. This is the first time we've offered a clump from this wreck. Although most of the coins are heavily encrusted, the top coin shows off its eagle plus UNITED in the legend. With certificate #7059.Recovered from: S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia.
