Product Details

This is a 1776 Mo Mexico 2R fragment certified by NGC to be recovered from the El Cazadore shipwreck. The Story: Sometimes called the Shipwreck that changed the course of America, the El Cazadore was transporting a massive amount of Spanish silver to the Spanish Louisiana Territory to bolster its failing economy, when it sank in the Gulf of Mexico in 1883. A fishing trawler sailing out of Mississippi discovered the lost treasure in 1993 when raising the nets from what they expected to be a fishing haul! Many historians assess that had the El Cazadore made its delivery of silver to New Orleans, the economy would have succeeded and the land would have not been given back to France and in turn, sold to the U.S. Here's a chance to own an amazing piece of history that had a real impact on America - AND - this coin was minted in 1776, birth year of our nation!!!
