<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jgenn, post: 6718952, member: 78525&quot;]Regarding Vigo Bay and the silver taken from the Spanish being used for the coins, I suggest you read the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vigo_Bay" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vigo_Bay" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia entry</a>.&nbsp; Coin catalogers have a bad habit of repeating sensational details without checking the history.&nbsp; My other pet peeve is the repetition of the story that Anson&#039;s captured silver was used to make the &quot;Lima&quot; coinage of 1745/1746.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
