Look at all the 1715 greenies! Click on one of the coins and then look at the enlarged version of the whole pile of coins. I'm green with envy!

These were found by Joel Ruth after Hurricane Jeanne somewhere north of Sebastian Inlet. He stated that there were so many that he was picking them up off the sand without his detector. It got dark and the tide was coming in so he decided to quit for the night. The next morning, he couldnt find a single cob. The sand had already buried them. It is a small window of oppurtunity.

I have the newspaper article somewhere but this was all I could find online. Second story.

Another repro for the Cypress file. What a waste of good gold (well 19g of something). This thing looks like it is a repro of a repro......

Cert doesn't seem to indicate it is from a wreck. It says this at the bottom: "This coin conforms to the highest standards used in evaluating ancient coins of this type and is from the Mel Fisher private family collection. This coin was re-certified on Wednesday August 10, 2008."

I like this one. It may be authentic, but it is certainly not 1715. Looks more like part of a 1740 coin from SFDB. Even says, "Reign of Ferdinand VI."

Interesting Stan, Looks fantastic, how would you get Mel Fisher certificate from the 1715 fleet it's 1740?

CuzcoSquirrel found that one. I don't think they (the Fishers) found it, so won't say which wreck it came from. Or it came from an unidentified wreck in the Keys, You could call them with that coin ID number and ask them to look it up.
