Description
Artifact Description - Green Bottle: This pair from the SS Republic Shipwreck Artifacts Gin Bottle and 1861 Seated Liberty Coin is a rare find outside of the Odyssey Shipwreck Store. The shipwreck was a time capsule of Civil War era life and commerce. During the archaeological excavation of the shipwreck, more than 175 different glass bottle types were delicately recovered from the seabed with Odyssey's Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) nicknamed ZEUS. These bottles were carefully recovered from the SS Republic shipwreck site, and were conserved and documented in Odyssey's conservation laboratory. A unique artifact ID number was assigned to each individual bottle aboard Odyssey's recovery vessel and is shown on the artifact tag as well as the Certificate of Authenticity and a book about the shipwreck and bottle.
Artifact Description - SS Republic 1861 Seated Liberty Coin: The Republic was discovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration in 2003 a hundred miles off the coast of Georgia at a depth of nearly 1700 feet. Over 51,000 U.S. gold and silver coins were recovered from the Republic wreck site, as well as over 14,000 artifacts - a fascinating assortment of 19th century goods in use during the Civil War years. Each coin has been Authenticated and grades by the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). This 1861 Seated Liberty is in AU (Almost Uncirculated) condition and is the Louisiana Issue.
