<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 26084507, member: 56370&quot;]I unfortunately don’t own any shipwreck coins.&nbsp; I used to have an El Cazador 8 reales with really nice details, but I sold it and used the proceeds for an undamaged piece.&nbsp; This is something I now regret as the El Cazador coins have continued to go up in value.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for other coins in my collection with a “disaster” connection, this Justinian follis fits the bill in a less conventional way.&nbsp; It was minted in 639/640 A.D. which was just a year before the Plague of Justinian began in 641 A.D.&nbsp; This event is less well known than the Black Death but by some estimates killed an even larger share of the population at the time.&nbsp; So this coin almost certainly was a witness to a great deal of tragedy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1661991[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1661992[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
