Even if they recover half the silver , they could be sold for a historical as well as collectable coins, I just hope I could bag a specimen for my sunken treasure collection. We won't see much of a reduction in the hammer price.

That would be beyond awesome having real sunken treasure in the palm of your hand!
Among the items I'd love to get are coins from wreacks of; the Atocha, the San Jose, the 1715 fleet just name a few.
I currently have; El Cazador, Song Dynasty 10 cash, SS Japan, & SS Garisopa.

Antocha is expensive, all of Mel Fisher's stuff is really up there. I want at least one too. The 1715 are tough, I have metal detected along Florida after hurricane's when I was younger without any luck. Now the San Jose would be awesome if they would ever stop fighting about recovery, I would love some too!
And Mel Fisher deserves all the credit owed him considering all the hardship he had gone through his business, his health and the high cost to his family.
The circus swirling around the San Jose discovery sure show cases the worst in human greed in the form of government.
