<p>[QUOTE="coin_nut, post: 2573797, member: 80148"]That is a beauty! I have one also, though mine is in much poorer condition...I recall some of the story about this S.S.C coin being that the company acquired a large amount of silver somewhere around the area of present day Indonesia. Wonder if they got it through legitimate trade or piracy? I bet some Spanish ships sailed those waters in those days, traveling between the Philippines and Spain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
