USA (Philadelphia mint), half dollar seated Liberty, 1863, encapsulated NGC SS Republic Shipwreck Effect. Excellent condition with very minimal corrosion on the brilliant, lustrous surfaces. Also, this coin is a very rare date from this wreck with only 82 examples found, as reported in "The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection" by Q. David Bowers (see previous lot), which gives a figure of just 91 halves from 1863: 82 from the Philadelphia mint and 9 from the San Francisco mint. NGC #1794471-013. With salvager's certificate. S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia
