    If my memory serves me right, Prime Select is the highest grade assigned to shipwreck coins and means something along the lines of "about uncirculated / uncirculated detail with light sea water damage".

    Amazing coin!

    No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey.
    It's just that I got my PCGS grades.

    Agreed, I've seen the same on ANACS slabbed shipwreck coins.

    That is a really nice coin...much better than my El Cazador 8 Reales which are definitely not 'Prime Select' !!

    "Prime Select" is rather tacky sounding, like a piece of meat or something. Cheesy.

    That is, however, a nice half-real. Having owned a rather roughish 8-reales piece from the Cazador (in ANACS plastic), I can see how that coin there would be considered Prime, or Select, or SuperDooperWunderbar or whatever they wanted to call it.

    For those who haven't read the story of the wreck, it's kind of interesting.

    (Wikipedia let me down, with their "El Cazador" page being about a comic book. Dang, Wikipedia, I thought better of you than that.)
