USA (Philadelphia mint), Seated Liberty 10 cents, 1843, NGC Shipwreck Effect / engraved / SS Central America Shipwreck Label. Coinage from the SS Central America provides a look back to people living in the United States in the 1850s. This particular dime shows a crude engraving of punches in each star, across Liberty, and into the date plus heavy underlining of ONE and hash marks along the rim on the reverse. Perhaps executed by some bored youth with access to dad's tools? Notwithstanding the period graffiti, this is a choice coin from the wreck with no surface corrosion to note. Recovered from: S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 in deep water off North Carolina
