Jackpot777 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 4:20 pm Hello Everyone. A few years back, I picked up this coin for a few bucks at an antique store in Honduras. The woman claimed that it was genuine, and it came from the The Admiral Gardner, a ship that was wrecked in 1809. Do you think that it is genuine? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
