My greatest find ever!

coin whisperer · Dec 21, 2017

Some of you guys may remember when I found this some years back. It’s a 1694 Austrian Kruzer 15 silver coin put inside of a sterling silver watch winder. It made Minelabs webpage and now resides in a museum in Florida.

That's stunning! Where did you find it? (not exact location of course, just what you feel comfortable sharing)

Also, how does it work with museum stuff? Do you donate it or? Just curious, thx!

I found it at the all girls private school where I found 50 plus gold rings, 25 of them were class rings, 100+ pieces of sterling silver and over 200 silver coins.

I remember when you originally found it. Just as awesome Now as then !!

Surprised you put it in a museum though. Why Florida?

That is an incredible find CW... congrats that it is special enough to end up at the museum.

You must have been completely dumbfounded when you dug it.

What what was the determining factor for the museum to display it?

Waveoff · Dec 21, 2017

That's a totally awesome find! And for it to end up in a museum is quite impressive. How many people can that they have something that's in a museum?? That coin is considerably older than your oldest coin in your signature!

That's certainly one of the most unique items I've ever seen on here. Very very cool find.
Why did you put it in a museum? Was it found on some historic land or something??

Geez. And I thought the high school I searched that had 6 gold rings and 20+ silver rings was a good one...

GOOD GRIEF...

Ty I was in total shock! I was offered a amount I couldn’t turn down for it. A collector from fla that runs a museum wanted it

That sure is a beauty CW! Wonder what the pedigree is of it? Like some sort of Austrian Nobleman...maybe belonged to that one guy who came over here to help train the troops during the Rev War?...Somebody like that...Congratulations and WOW!

My greatest find ever!
