Welcome back to Something About Coins! Do you ever tire of reading about sunken ships loaded with gold coins? I don't. I also love to read about valuable error coins in circulation. Here's more:
The Associated Press reports Odyssey Marine Exploration, the Florida deep-sea explorers, has made another agreement today with Britain's government to salvage artifacts from a sunken British warship that possibly carried four tons of gold coins. The report says Odyssey will continue to make money as it works closely with the government on the HMS Victory wreck site.
If you want to get your heart pounding over another valuable error coin recently found in a bank roll, you've got to read this post on Numismaster. It's a detailed account of a rare error 1992-P cent with a "Close AM" of America, possibly Mint State.
Another free online book has been added to StellaCoinNews.com. The Complete Guide to Barber Halves by David Lawrence was added this week. To view the list of all their free online books, click here.
Just a reminder, on Monday the U.S. Mint is lifting their order limits on the 2009 UHR $20 Double Eagle Gold Coins. Less than 100,000 have been sold so far, according to stats from the mint.
Finally, another collector coin set coming is the 2009 U.S. Mint Uncirculated Coin Set. It's launch date is October 1st. This set was recently featured on WorldMintCoins.com, where they described the specifications of the set.
Have a good weekend and see you Monday!
