Interesting question! Generally speaking, the funds I am likely to have available this year for new coins is likely to be (very) limited. Too many...
Very nice! Knowing where it was found really adds to its historic appeal.
Steve, please don't take me seriously on this:). I meant it humorously about ships+parties. My engineers' mind did not see the obvious synergy...
