    My inlaws have friends who son dives for one of these ship wreck looting companies.

    Ownership is murky. Locations are kept secret, because if it is in some countries waters, that country will make a claim, as well as the country who's ship it was, as well as any one else who can make a claim of ownership.

    "Damn, my great great great granddad always talked about how he was sending a big box of coins across the ocean when the ship went down."

    "Controlled release of the coins into the market along with their expected high value to collectors likely will keep prices at a premium, he said."

    I thought the same thing. I picture a coin dude walking into a shop with all of these coins and being told only three of them are on sale.

    "How much for this one?"

    "That one is not for sale."

    "How much for..."

    "Not for sale."

    "This one..."

    "Nope"

    "Oh"

    This thread = *****

    seriously, there was a new yorker article a few years back about some found emerald necklace that explained all the ownership laws, and i believe 50% is high, but don't quote me.

    'Nope. No coins in the North Atlantic.'

    'No ATL. What's Hood?'

    Oh man...for days, for days...
