The new owner got a smoking deal on a historic piece of numismatic as well as California Gold Rush Era and famous shipwreck history! Melt value on the “58.77-ounce Kellogg & Humbert Gold Ingot from the S.S. Central America”’is approximately $171K and this sold for just $186K! Just $15K over melt. At $870 over melt for an uncirculated W American Gold Eagle, you’d be looking at $51,129.90 over melt at that rate. Quite a discount if you ask me.

Agree, that is a steal at that price. Very low premium for historic value.
