<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25292177, member: 101855&quot;]My only shipwreck salaged coin. I have owned others, but sold them. From a well protected pile on the <i>SS Central America</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1615437[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have many pieces with ships on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>This half noble is from the reign of British king, Edward III. He introduced gold coinage to the British Isles after the 1066 conquest. </p><p><br /></p><p>The ship shown on this piece is called a cog. Although it&#039;s never been linked, this style of ship played a big role in the British naval victory over the French in the Battle of Sluys (pronounced &quot;Sloos&quot;) at the beginning of the Hundred Years War in June 1340. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1615438[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Model of a Cog</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1615442[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a Civil War token with the <i>Monitor </i>on it. All, but the <i>Monitor </i>varieties that are called Indiana Primitives, are common tokens, but they bring good prices because they are very popular with collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1615444[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one of the Indiana Primitive pieces. Henry Higgins, who made the Indiana Primitive tokens made a copy of the piece shown above to make his token. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1615445[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
