USA (Philadelphia mint), Capped Bust 50 cents, 1809, NGC Shipwreck Effect / SS New York Shipwreck Label. The SS New York shipwreck proved to be a fascinating time capsule of American "pocket change" in the early 1800s. This 1809 half dollar, while holed at the top and corroded by saltwater, has the sharp details of an XF or higher piece. Apparently it was holed for safekeeping after only a little circulation. This is also the earliest SS New York coin we've offered at auction. Recovered from: S.S. New York, sunk in 1846 off Louisiana
