Buy 98.29 oz SS Central America Kellogg and Humbert Assayers Gold Bar

The wreck of the SS Central America is remembered to this day as the most infamous ship of gold in American history. As the SS Central America transited the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean from Panama to New York City laden with gold, it ran into a hurricane in September 1857 that eventually disabled the ship’s boilers and left it at the mercy of the storm. Two days later, it sank with 30,000 pounds of gold onboard. Right now, a 98.29 oz SS Central America Kellogg & Humbert Assayers Gold Bar is available to you online for immediate purchase.

This 98.29 oz SS Central America Kellogg & Humbert Assayers Gold Bar comes in a sealed plastic case with a Pelican Case black box for storage and transportation. The bars were refined more than 170 years ago in San Francisco by the Kellogg & Humbert Assayers. This particular bar was given a unique serial number of 1037, a number that is stamped on the obverse field of the bar.

After the sinking of the SS Central America in 1857, this gold bar sat on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of more than 7,000 feet below. The wreck of the SS Central America was discovered in the 1980s and some of the gold that sank with the ship was recovered over the course of the next two decades.

Obverse designs on these 98.29 oz SS Central America Kellogg & Humbert Assayers Gold Bars include all the identifying hallmarks. In addition to the serial number, you will find the weight, purity, and name of Kellogg & Humbert stamped on this field. Additionally, you will see its face value in 1857 US dollars, an inscription of $1,777.85. The reverse field of the bar is blank.
