jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 10:30 pm I had this coin out of the SDB to scan and post on another thread here on the forum so I thought I would share with my world coin friends as well. I don't think I have posted this one before (but I have a terrible memory). Any comments always welcome. This particular coin has an interesting history, it was one of the center coins to a clump of coins salvaged from the "Coffins Patch" wreck off the Florida coast by a friend of mine. I also have the "MoF" version from the same source. The outside coins in the clump were pretty messed up but the inner coins were sweet. Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 06/16/2011 01:23 am Very nice/rare 1733 Fleet piece... Straight from the mint detail imparted with a strong strike, nice broad flan, good denticles. That bit of corrosion by the date really doesn't detract, basically blends with the surroundings... It certainly is much better preserved than the majority of 1733 Fleet cobs/pillars out there, many of which are really seaworn. Compare, for example, this dog 1733 Mo: http://cgi.ebay.com/1733-FLEET-SHIP...400217088018 Like you said, center of the clump makes all the difference... Report this Post to the Staff
