Many collectors have long been fascinated by Shipwreck Treasures that were found deep under the sea that were once part of the cargo of ships. Over the course of history, tens of thousands of such ships have perished on inland and coastal waters with valuable coins, currency and jewels onboard. Collectors find these treasures especially appealing because they come with a story about the history behind them and how they ended up where they were found, sometimes hundreds of years after the ship sank.

Photos of this $1 Silver Certificate with the deterioration around its edges resulting from years of underwater exposure to saltwater has a “Shipwreck Effect Grade B” with above-average eye appeal and moderate disturbance to its surface. The accurate attribution and identification is not hindered by any surface impairment.
