    The ornamentation on your piece above and below the mintmark doesn't coincide with the picture, but the rest looks good. http://www.maravedis.org/rrcc_8realespag.html

    It appears to be a quarter!
    Since 1987 our Jupiter Wreck has continued to yield coins but the question, "Where's the rest of the Ship?" has remained unanswered...  There are 2 layers of shipwreck scatter and we are equipping the "Enterprise" to excavate the primary treasure layer.  Join with us this year!

    NO, just an inside 'joke' on the public. I find quarters on the beach just about any time I go coin shooting.

    Trez, Diver_Down: Thanks! I hear many stories regarding the Isa/Ferd coins, and only have one other which is much smaller. There's 5 degrees of separation between myself and the first known owner, to wit: Robert Nesmith, then Kip Wagner and so on.

    Bobadilla, if you're out there, you might be interested to know this one allegedly came from a wreck near you.

    Trez, unfortunately I think Joel has misjudged the market. He sold another about 3 months ago for $500. That piece took over a month and half to sell (Patty on Colonial Coins bought it). The current offering is of lesser quality than the one Patty bought in my opinion. The current offering has been available for over 2 months (the listing expires and is relisted). I've been watching his listings for 6 months now.
