This rare Civil War era coin collection comprises three large Seated Liberty half dollars all struck at the New Orleans Mint by three different governments—the United States, the State of Louisiana and the Confederate States of America — all having operated the Mint at one point during the first year of the Civil War. The coins in this historic collection have the extra pedigree of being part of the largest treasure trove of U.S. coins in history. 51,000 coins and over 14,000 artifacts were recovered from the SS Republic shipwreck, a Civil War-era side-wheel steamship en route from New York to New Orleans that sank in 1865 after battling a hurricane for two days. This set also includes the 1853-1865 SS Republic Odyssey Marine Exploration CD, a National Geographic magazine covering the treasures from the Civil War Wreck and the Pritt J. Vesilind Book "Lost Gold of the Republic, the Remarkable Quest for the Greatest Shipwreck Treasure of the Civil War Era".
