[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24438941, member: 59677"]I like yours too. Cons were not nice pretty coins, oh no. I found that they were not really coins used in commerce as much as convenient ways to count silver on its way to the King of Spain. Bars weighing 68 pounds, smaller bars that were finger sized (but easily made off wirh) and chests of coins. I'm reading "SHIPWRECK A Saga of Sea Tragedy and Sunken Treasure" by DAVE HORNER which is the story of the 1654 wreck.[/QUOTE]
