<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2765939, member: 10461&quot;]That doesn&#039;t strike me as a bad price for an 8R piece from <i>El Cazador,</i> IF you got the decent example shown.&nbsp; 1783 is the most common date but I like the one in the listing and it&#039;s nice how the old-style ANACS holder lists the shipwreck pedigree with date <i>and</i> location, unlike most TPG labels.</p><p><br /></p><p>As [USER=85208]@BlackBeard_Thatch[/USER] helpfully noted, this particular shipwreck was pivotal to the history of Louisiana and how it fell out of the Spanish grsasp and eventually became part of the United States.&nbsp; <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cazador_(ship)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cazador_(ship)" rel="nofollow">It is well worth reading about.</a>&nbsp; The accidental rediscovery of the wreck is fascinating, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a LOT of<i> El Cazador</i> pieces on the market, though, and quality varies widely.&nbsp; Many are heavily corroded.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you buy from the OP link, just make sure you&#039;re getting the exact coin in the picture and that they&#039;re not using a stock photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
