Millions of Dollars of Sunken Trea
sure
 There is a sense of excitement whenever sunken treasure is discovered. In March 1992,
Life Magazine called the SS Central America “The Greatest Treasure Ever Found.”
 Back in September of 1857, major New York banks, business and individuals were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the SS Central America with a large shipment of California Gold Rush bullion, ingots, nuggets, gold dust and San Francisco Mint coins. When news came through the telegraph wires that the ship had sunk off the coast of North Carolina, the country went into a panic. It was a time when the country relied on gold to back its banking transactions. Banks closed, businesses went bankrupt and the financial Panic of 1857 deepened. This is the gripping story of the ill-fated sailing in 1857. Some initial gold was recovered and quickly sold in 2000, but many of us were wondering if we would ever lay eyes on more of this treasure again. Now, finally, more of the ship’s treasure was recovered in 2014 and is now available – including some of the gold coins and gold dust recovered!
Rescue your own piece of the SS Central America treasure before it is quickly gone again!

One Gold Pinch
A “Pinch of Gold” was a unit of money used in commerce like in saloons to buy drinks. One gold pinch approximates the gold value of private mint 50¢ California fractional gold coins that were in use in 1857. Genuine California gold rush gold dust is rare as it was typically melted for ingot or coin production.
