Default The Hunley and a Gold Coin make an Interesting Tale!

Gold coin with a story to it found aboard the wreck of the Hunley.

Due to the damage caused by the bullet it would have to be a specialty collectors item. I would think the historic value would be many times greater than the coin value as it is a one of a kind item.

Cheers,
