<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laz, post: 1526, member: 53&quot;]I read the story in Coin World a short time ago.A coin was found in the wreckage of the Hunley.It&#039;s a $20.00 Double Eagle with the reverse ground off and said something like &quot;My Life Preserver&quot; with the details of how it deflected a bullet in some earlier Civil War battle.Unfortunately,nobody explained that a solid Gold life preserver doesn&#039;t work well at sea.The Lt. died when the Hunley sank. It was the third time that the submarine sank with all on board.The last mission was a success however when the Hunley rammed and sank a Union ship.The resulting explosion also unfortunately sank the Hunley.Check this site and scroll down to see the story on this coin...</p><p><a href="http://www.thehunley.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thehunley.com/" rel="nofollow">www.thehunley.com/ </a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
