It was found off Ft Pierce the Spanish Fleet was lost in the hurricane in 1715. Its an eight Real mined in Potasi Bolivia by slave indians. There is a singular round small proof mark which King Philip IV ordered after he found he was being ripped of my his own assayer. He demanded all coins be reproofed and stamped. King Phillip ordered that his dishonest assayer to death. Some were found to be less or chipped off pieces of silver and less remelted and restruck. This is an exaple~ The crack was made when when restamped and the non conforming were rejected and returned to the furnance, Thus very rare. Early Us traded the spanish milled dollar as our currency. You will notice an "8" equivalent to our dollar. We are called the Treasure Coast for that reason!! My mistake 1715 fleet and dated 1690~~~Sorry I drifted off topic~

No need to be sorry... it was a legitimate question... just be understanding instead of sorry. I would like to update that page too!

John you and your associates own the most bad ass firearm site anywhere! The knowlege derived is priceless and relevent. We are in a way a family of friends and relative who post more then just our collections. On our birthdays we each get so many best wishes and pleasent thoughts. Thanks especially to our hero Bill Lyon!! The combined honest opinions and first hand advice is priceless. In Law I used to have to pay hired $%^* for their biased and often contrived opinions. Here we have the finest luger heros anywhere! You can get advice from the actual writers of the books on every luger topic! Eveyday the first thing I do is open our site with my morning coffee. I do post a allot as I love to share our luger pretties not to show off but share like snapshots of my family in my wallet! I have come far from my marital and physical impediments and all of you have been the greatest therapy! I still can type with only one finger but it does slow my brain down and thats a good thing! Again thanks to all who make it possible~~~Luv Ya Eric
