USS Point Loma AGDS 2 / Bathyscaph Trieste II DSV 1 Commemorative Coin

A beautiful 2-inch antique silver finished, hand painted coin featuring the USS Pt Loma AGDS-2, a DSV Support Ship and mother ship to the Trieste II DSV 1, underway during her sea trials in June 1976. The Bathyscaph Trieste II DSV 1 conducted dives in the vicinity of the USS Thresher SSN 593 loss site (started the previous year by the first Trieste). She recovered bits of wreckage, positively fixing the remains as that of the lost Thresher, in September 1964. It would make an excellent addition to your collection or for your favorite sailor!

OPTIONAL: Our Air-Tite acrylic cases provide the ultimate long-term protection for your coin. They are made of crystal clear, hard Acrylic, and will never yellow over time; the foam rings are made of Volara, and both are free of PVC that could damage your coin.
