Not which coat pocket?

Okay, I'll play... the Atocha seems too obvious, so I'll guess the Santa Margarita.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Right you are, Trk5capt... but it was in the pocket of a hero of The Good Old C. S. A.!

My guess would be ""SS Central America". Did you look at some of those prices those coins are selling for?
They are selling .5 grams of gold from the SS Central America for a buy it now price of $179. That is $11,133 an ounce.

It was found on the Hunley sumbarine. This bullet saved the man's life that had it in his pocket. A bullet intended for him was ricochete'd off of the coin.

I am probably wrong, but that is my guess.

Hey, Ryandistelrath!

I remember you from the Collectors Universe MD forum!



Lt. Dixon's $20 from the Hunley wreck is probably THE most historically significant US coin, in my opinion.
