  Interesting timing for this thread -I can't remember who it was, but at last weekend's PAN show there was a dealer who had a poster up wanting to buy coins with sails.
  

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  Just curious, if you wanted to start a collection of commems that had a ship on them how many would you be looking for. I think that would be a neat set,

  My father was given these doubloons in New Orleans, 1972. The gold one is quite heavy. Not sure of it's content.

  HI All,
  
  I do not have them scanned - but I have a medal struck for the launching of the 2nd Mauretania made of metal from the first Mauretania (1907) which I collect, complete with ribbon and pin. It looks like something Bill might like. No sails...I also recall selling a souvenir 50C that was originally purchased on the Great Eastern when she was new.

  One of my newer purchases, one of the most iconic ancient Roman coins: a sestertius minted by Nero showing the Port of Ostia with seven ships on the reverse.

  Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

  Three of my "Box of 20" coins have ships, as it happens. So that's what... 15% of my collection. Just sorta happened that way.
  
  The ship is pretty tiny on the first one.
  
  
  
  
  They're not all sailing ships.
  
  
  
  
  Posted this one in another Liteside thread recently, but hey, it fits.

  Amazing cent @cardinal! Love the blazing red color from 1794!

  I found that this recently sold in 2021. Heritage mentioned it was in the The Dickson Collection, but not The Cardinal Collection. Do we need to update Heritage?

  Very cool ghost ship.
