        @Jett129 That is awesome!! I’ve looked quite a few times but the price has crept up considerably over the years. I wish I would have pulled the trigger a decade or so ago.

        Can you post a picture please? 🙏

          @goosehd True story,a friend of mine was in Key West right around the time that the store opened,and he bought it for me as a gag gift,because at the time I was really into scuba diving. He said he paid about $25 for it. I thought it was worth about $800,so I brought it with me to Key West,the last time I went. Hoping to sell it back to them,but they didn’t want it.IMG_1448.jpeg IMG_1449.jpeg

            @Jett129 Thank you for posting that and take a look at the current going prices: https://store.melfisher.com/collections/authentic-atocha-coins-1

            When I first started looking they were all under $1000 (mostly between $500-$1000) at the time and I thought it was too much then. Now it's just eye watering...

              @goosehd I'm pretty sure mine isn't a top level coin,more towards the bottom in how these are rated,and then you have to find someone willing to pay you that price.

                    @Jett129 Man, that is super cool. Appreciate you sharing this certificate and the image of your Piece of Eight. What an heirloom and piece of history to have! And those current prices are something..

                    I'm not a collector myself. I've used this alias since I was a young lad, going way back pre internet when forums like this were hosted on BBSs that you had to call into. I was into pirate books and lore back then and thought Piece of Eight fit when I got into a lot of mischief with some fellow phone phreakers and video game crackers. Some fellow collected all the BBS data from back then (textfiles.com) and here's a splash page made by the hackers who I helped crack the copyright and distribute The Never Ending Story game for free and they gave me credit.

                        @PieceofEight I also think that those prices were exceptionally high because they were pendants enclosed in gold.

                                Hey folks! I'm new here, my name is David. I live in the Bay Area, California USA. I've been into raw denim since 2016 but never tried Iron Heart. A few weeks ago I figured I should see what all the fuss is about so ordered some 1955S jeans. Super stoked! Glad to be here.

                                    @Luijim78 thank you for the welcome, Luigi! I visited your beautiful country once, back in 2001, but haven't been back since.

                                        Hi everyone! My name’s Jahsun, I split my time between LA and Sacramento, going back and forth for family and work every other week. I bought a IHJ-05 Cordura windbreaker around 2017 or 2018 and it’s been my main riding jacket since. I’m trying to wear this jacket out so I have an excuse to buy another one but this thing just won’t quit and looks as good as when I got it, even after at least 50k+ miles on it. I’m really interested in hearing what IH stuff anyone else wears for riding.
