RING THE BELL - 1846 S.S. New York Shipwreck Gold Coins The S.S. New York shipwreck in 1846 was almost overlooked as Americans were devoted to the fighting troops on the battlefields during the war against Mexico. The ship’s captain unknowingly set sail directly into a hurricane, and after trying to wait it out, the ship tragically turned the wrong way and was unable to recoveritself from the fury of the storm. On September 7, 1846 the ship was lost to the sea, taking with it 17 souls and thirty to forty thousand dollars worth of U.S. Gold coins, U.S. Silver coins, and bank notes. The recovery in 2007 revealed an incredible hoard of little-known U.S. Southern mint Gold and Silver coins, some of which are the finest known Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans coins.
