SHIP WREAK COINS

[Templar]

CHRISTMAS CAME A LITTLE EARLY FOR ME --IN FACT SO DID MY BIRTHDAY--FATHER'S DAY--SWEETEST DAY---I RECEIVED A COIN AND ARTIFACT OFF THE USS REPUBLIC---A SIDE WHEELER -STEAM DRIVEN SHIP THAT SANK IN A HURRICANE OFF THE GEORGIA COAST IN 1865---IT WAS DISCOVERED IN 2003 IN 1700 FEET OF OCEAN--USING A ROBOT SOME 1700 COINS AND 7000 ARTIFACTS WERE RECOVERED--I HAVE OBTAINED A 1859/0 SITTING HALF DOLLAR AND THEY INCLUDED AN INK WELL MADE OF POTTERY---THE COIN CAME IN A BEAUTIFUL WOOD BOX AND HAS A CD SHOWING SOME OF THE DIVE

 I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THESE THINGS WITH YOU AND I HOPE MY SCANNER DOES THEM JUSTICE---THE COIN HAS NO GRADE BECAUSE IT WAS CLEANED
 YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR
