The SS Central America, commonly referred to as the “Ship of Gold,” has a reputation as the most significant shipwreck to occur in United States history. Known primarily for its crucial role in transporting prospectors and thousands of pounds of California gold to and from the West Coast during the California Gold Rush, this iconic ship was an integral part of expanding our 1850s. Unfortunately, on September 3, 1857, the SS Central America set sail on its final voyage as it left the Panamanian Port of Colon with 30,000 pounds of gold in its cargo.  Each of these double pinches of Gold Rush gold will come with a limited edition SS Central America Bell label signed by Bob Evans, the Chief Scientist of the SS Central America Ship of Gold Coin Project!
