Experience acquired while working in the Marine Salvage business has given Bernard Reller the knowledge and contacts necessary to understand the value and appeal of treasure coins and artifacts. Bernard's experience in the salvage business and relationships he developed there led to him becoming well-known and respected as a creator of Replica Coins. Setting Reller Replicas apart is the use of 100% Atocha Silver in casting all Silver Replicas. Accompanying each coin is a certificate authenticating the Silver used in the coin's production. As with Reller's Authentic Coins, mountings are done with 14K Gold. The coins are available for discerning collectors. |
