One coin. This coin is from my late father\'s estate. The coin is sealed in a plastic jacket with NGC Certification information embedded in the top of the jacket (see photo). It\'s a 1783 coin, Mexico 2R. Coin brought up from a shipwreck (Ship was El Cazador if I\'m not mistaken). Because I\'m not a coin expert, I\'ve taken high res photos, you be the judge. No returns, this is what you see. So make sure it\'s what you want. . Shipping is free. I will ship by US mail. I will ship to lower 48 USA states only. Paypal only. When your payment appears in Paypal, I\'ll ship the coin within 3 days.

Coin buffs are probably familiar with this coin and shipwreck. Here\'s part of the story which I found on a coin dealer website: The El Cazador, a Spanish brigantine of war, was lost without a trace in the winter of 1784 while on route from Vera Cruz Mexico to the port of New Orleans. The wreck site was accidentally discovered on August 2, 1993 by a fishing vessel working the area. There were several thousand coins on this sunken vessel.
