<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 395332, member: 360&quot;]A young lady I know at the flea-market had a friend of hers helping her out that day at her stall. I&#039;d met him once or twice before and apparently he&#039;s a rather avid coin-collector. He sold me this slabbed Piece of Eight. He let me have it cheap because the case was damaged, but I took it anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>I asked him what happened and he said he dropped the case and stepped on it one day and that if I wanted to, I could just remove it from the case. I decided I would, but I&#039;d keep the case anyway, even broken, for purposes of provenance and authenticity. </p><p><br /></p><p>According to the serial number and the information I found on it...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ngc-spanish-1783-reales-shipwreck-293155689" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ngc-spanish-1783-reales-shipwreck-293155689" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ngc-spanish-1783-reales-shipwreck-293155689</a></p><p><br /></p><p>...it&#039;s from the 1784 wreck of the Spanish vessel El Cazador (&quot;The Hunter&quot;). My first piece of shipwreck treasure!! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]137434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]137435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]137436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]137437[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
