The Bloody Raven’s rating scale from 100 (One Hundred) for high seas pirate themed fun down to 0 (zero) for Swabbing silvers! This rates a clean 90! If you’re dead set on boring Stacking read no further, and furthermore, “Ahh ains nae bluudy Financial Advisor!”
Just when you thought it safe to sail the #silvergoldstackers seas Blackbeard’s ship The Queen Anne’s Revenge returns to haunt this blog and shake your souls. But first this lovely Carlos the 4th 8 Reales that came with it.
1804 Mexican Colonial 8 Reales
Another fine specimen of a line of Mexican 8 Reales that became the world reserve currency for three hundred years of human economic history. Judging from the finish this coin appears to have spent a lot of time buried.
Well worn, oh what stories would it tell of the hands that held it for goods and services exchanged for years, decades, or even over a century of use. This 1804 specimen may have not been to China like my 1805 due to the lack of Chopmarks, To learn more about Chopmarks click on the 1805. Of course, those with chopmarks do tell their own story.
I’d love to have a chest full of these treasured pieces of economic history, but these should more than sufficient as numismatic keepsakes for my descendants, Thank you again Captain Nyssacat, you are full of surprises.
The Mighty Queen Anne’s Revenge!
Now, from the Instagram Pirate Captaintomcoyne Skipper of ‘The Coyne.’
As you may observe, the mail system has not been very kind on her, even lost a jib sail and a breech on the top of the bottle leaving the contents exposed to the air.
However, Captain Tom Coyne assures that each of his magnificent, bottled ships there be 31.1 grams of 0.999 fine silver shot, and a little of something else was not on the original product specifications.
Good grief, gold shot too! Nyssacat! 💋
Bilge Rats, this glass makes it difficult to get a good photo of the goods. But a fine piratey gift worthy of a place on my fireplace mantle like a trophy.
The Queen Ann's Revenge in full sail to find her fame and fortune!
Now where was I... ✍️
In the dreary fog patched moonlight, driven by the evening westerly winds, the dark silhouette of the Queen Anne's Revenge swiftly carves its silent wake over the glistening waves like a razor sharp dagger drawn across the throat of it's prey.
The heading is now Charleston, the tall ferocious figure clad in his trademark red Tricorn hat and frock coat no longer anxiously paced the poop deck, now stood silent and leaned upon the rail staring at the South Carolina coast coming into view. Through the light fog the telltale lights of Charleston mark what may be the most audacious act of piracy yet.
Until my 😼 cat freaks me out when he climbs up on the mantle.
