<p>[QUOTE=&quot;capitalcoinman, post: 2124135, member: 74022&quot;]Hi Tommyc03, The founding individual was famed explorer John Cabot who founded the province in 1497.He was an Italian navigator and explorer.The place later became settled by english and irish who came here for the prized fishery.In relation to coinage, the oldest coins I have had in my possession were gold spanish cobs, that unfortunately I had to sell in my younger years to pay for my house.There was a history of pirate raids and settlements here.The most famous was Peter Easton who had a settlement here.I routinely buy old U S gold coins from local residents who had fisherman relatives in the past who sold fish to U S merchants who paid them in gold coins in the 1800, s.Always like to get those phone calls and I try to close every deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
