    Count me in for this one! A shipwreck 8 Reales! Shiver me timbers! I'm going to have to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" tonight!

    I don't have any shipwreck coins, nor any 8 Reales. But, I have had the pleasure of holding some used 2004 Jefferson Keelboat Nickels! LOL! Not as nice as this one shown on PCGS CoinFacts, though! Closest I've come to holding a shipwreck coin. :D

    I will enter.... for @serdogthehound. I don't know half of the people here that are entering for this coin, but this user name is quite different, so heck, to him it goes if my number is drawn.

    Count me in! I love the cob type coinage, and adding that kind of history behind it puts it far above any monetary value it's given (to me personally.)

    Please add my entry for Randy Abercrombie.
    Randy has been so generous to others,
    and I wanted to say thank you through an entry for him.

    I thought I would share a photo of a hobo nickel.:)

    Oh heck, I'll pile on. Please consider this post an extra entry for @Randy Abercrombie ! Certainly a deserving chap for his own generosity.

    I don't know if I ever shared this piece. My second ever ancient coin.

    Julian the Apostate. Interesting fella. Wasn’t having any of that newfangled Christianity stuff the Romans had switched to. Tried to turn back the clock to that “old time religion”. Didn’t work out so well.
