This coin is one of my personal coins in my collection that I have acquired. I hate to part with it but at the same time it would help take the stress off things at the same time since im off work now for over two months. Im only offering this here on SingleDivers as SD is the booking agent for the Atocha Adventure week with Mel Fishers that gives anyone the chance to see/feel and dive on without investing 10K in the company to become a investor.
The Atocha story and saga are almost legendary amongst treasure hunters, and to this day calls adventurers and treasure hunters to the keys to look for the riches that remain hidden in the sands off Key West. Like Mel Fisher said on a regular basis " Todays the Day", and it is to own a piece of history that is almost 400 years old.
