Titanic Wreck Wood with a 1912 U.S. Liberty Head V Nickel

A remarkable item that became an instant hit after being introduced. This snap down coin-holder has an authentic piece of yellow pine Titanic wreck wood, identified as part of the deck found by the crew of the Cable Ship Minia while searching for bodies of Titanic victims. It is encased along with a genuine 1912 U.S. Liberty Head V nickel, the same year of the Titanic tragedy, which serves as both a memorial and a coin of distinction.  Each wood piece will vary in size and shape. The example shown is approx. 25mm x 7mm but in many instances the piece shipped will be larger. Both are secured in this hard plastic casing with a fantastically made identifying label on front.

Provenance includes an attractive signed Certificate of Authenticity on a glossy card and several support documents from Kevin Saucier, a 20+ year collector with worldwide hobby recognition. This is truly an astounding treasure and a piece of history few can have the pleasure of owning. May shift a little during shipping; unsnap, readjust, and snap back.
