| This coin came from the dealer with a small piece of paper on which was printed: |
| "While delivering the freshly minted coins to Bengal India, The Admiral Gardner and the Britania were sunk in a storm. The coins, enclosed in wax sealed kegs were amazingly nice when recovered from the ocean floor in 1985." |
| Obviously the coins were in near mint condition. If you pay more than $5 for one of these you've missed the point of the text above, there are thousands of these in this condition. |
