Sunken treasure for sale on TV

Franklin Mint has coins hauled up from shipwreck

By Alan Sayre The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - The Franklin Mint has purchased about 360,000 coins recovered from the wreck of El Cazador, a Spanish brig-of-war that sank in early 1784 during a storm in the Gulf of Mexico as it attempted to reach then-Spanish-controlled Louisiana.

The cache will be offered for sale over a cable TV shopping network by the company, which usually produces its own lines of collectibles.

Fishermen discovered the wreck off the state's coast in 1993 when coins were snared in a trawl. Franklin Mint acquired the coins from the salvagers. . . . .

Tool,
Looks like you have the same problem as we have here.
One law for the rich and a separate one for the poor.
That's equality for you.
