Shipwreck Yields Treasure

Deep-sea explorers said they have hauled up what could be the richest sunken treasure ever discovered. It is hundreds of thousands of colonial-era silver and gold coins worth an estimated $500 million from a shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean. Wow! They had a chartered cargo jet land in the United States with hundreds of plastic containers packed with the 500,000 coins. They are expected to bring an average of $1000 each from collectors and investors. This find is unprecedented. Rare coin experts are excited.
