<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1304302, member: 26302&quot;]Well two points. One is yes these shows are staged, but real stuff like this is found in storage units and auction lots. I personally found a large cent collection in some boxes of junk at an auction, as well as a Lincoln&#039;s assassination newspaper from Ottumwa Iowa. It can happen, and people have made great discoveries, and its these things and the popularity of this show that has dramatically raised the prices at similar auctions nationwide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two, why does every dang thing that has to do with Central America or the Caribbean from 1500 to 1900 have to be labelled &quot;Pirate&quot; nowadays? These things had as little chance of belonging to a pirate as your 1928 cent has of belonging to John Dillenger. We should label all US money made from 1920-1940 as &quot;Gangster Money!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the rant. Isn&#039;t real history good enough for people? I guess not, since it does not have Johnny Depp starring in the role........</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
