<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 25999123, member: 112673&quot;]This rather beat-up guy is from the Le Chameau Shipwreck. On August 26, 1725, she made landfall in the wrong place in a gale and was blown onto the rocks north of Louisburg. It carried goods, ammunition, and money to pay the French garrisons and the colony&#039;s expenses. More than 82,000 pounds in gold and silver coinage were mentioned. Over 200 people were aboard, but all perished. Alex Storm and a team of divers found the wreck and some of its treasure in 1966. I&#039;m unsure what happened to the coin below, but it looks like it stuck to another coin.&nbsp; Any speculations? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1653452[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1653453[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
