Now The Bradford Exchange, in cooperation with Odyssey Marine Exploration, presents the Sao Jose Shipwreck Men's Ring created from an authentic 8 reales coin as the centerpiece of the ring! This ring is truly a unique statement piece for any man to wear - and a genuine piece of history.
A fine jewelry design available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange, each Sao Jose Shipwreck Men's Ring is crafted in solid sterling silver and plated in 24K gold, created from an authentic silver 8 reales coin salvaged from the wreck.
That sure is mis-leading. "Created from" can mean an actual original was the starting point or in this case, really means an original was the basis for the design.
Since so many people don't read ads completely (as anyone who has ever had Ebay buyers ask questions that are clearly already answered in the ad, can tell you), I wonder how many buyers of this coin will think it's an original old coin ?
... also not sure how they figure a replica is a 'genuine piece of history'.
