    Congrats and glad you are happy.

    I’m not a big fan of ship wreck coins. The history is cool but I prefer coins that have a more original look and don’t look like they’ve been chemically treated with something.

    Nice addition and aside from being off a shipwreck, which by itself is a tragic yet very interesting story, the surfaces look to be in excellent condition for a silver coin. Congrats.

    I was always fascinated with the SS Central America discovery and coins it yielded. There was tremendous hype surrounding the first auction.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
