At the price these were listed, I couldn't pass this up. If all goes well, I'll post photos here when I have them in hand. Anyone else own coins from the Turks and Caicos Islands?
Nope! But, they remind me of the TV series called "Cooper's Treasure". Evidence from photos taken from astronaut Cooper's space orbits suggested that anomalies on the photos were actually locations of Spanish shipwrecks. The treasure hunter must have been getting pretty close to the truth because the show was suddenly cancelled.
Yes. I've been there three times (best vacation spot in the Caribbean!). I have two 1981 half crowns I purchased in Providenciales. And coincidentally, I bought a 1969 crown just today.
They made it! Super hard to photograph! Very lovely coins. Will try to get better shots sometime down the road.
