<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1038890, member: 19065&quot;]Based on other coins being sold at the time when I bought these two and seeing their varied condition they were in, I was under the impression that these coins were salvaged from a wreck horde (possibly The Hollandia Treasure Wreck), had been cleaned and were abundant on the market. I could not get any provenance from the seller at the time whether these were salvaged or not but I have tried to do some research online and found a tiny amount of background on similar coins found from significant wreck discoveries.</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOC_ship_Hollandia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOC_ship_Hollandia" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOC_ship_Hollandia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOC_ship_Hollandia" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia: VOC Ship Hollandia</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, would you happen to be the same Rex, &quot;Rex Cowan, a London attorney&quot; since your CT member name is &#039;rexesq&#039; [Rex Esq.]&nbsp; that is mentioned on the Wiki link? I&#039;ve searched this name online and found some other background in regards to the <i>Hollandia</i>, salvage operations and the auction that was held after reclaiming the horde. I was trying to learn more about the authenticity of my coins in my search.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
