Staying in touch with the researcher to compile this information is a great gift to Hive! I love that now I know about this niche part of history, and appreciate being able to see these historic coins! Wow, I had never thought of collecting for personal reasons before reading your post yesterday. I mean, it's an obviously cool thing to do now that I am aware of it though !LOLZ

The damage to the coins makes them more beautiful when you know the story, I think. After reading I went back and looked at them all again !LUV

So far, about 100 of these coins have been found, most making there way into the Western markets in the hands of collectors. I am so fortunate to own one and plan to pass these to my children as an heirloom.
It's still early in the process but I should check the National Geographic website to see if any progress is made on the SS Japan.
