Nice, Tom. Congratulations. If you want, you can send me a #10 S.A.S.E. and I'll return it with the Palm Beach Post newspaper article along with "Coin World" and "Numismatic News" clips from when the ship went down. The captain (co-owner), first mate and the cook were lost at sea that night. Though I never put this in print, but just days before the stom there were .900 fine gold and .850 fine silver tokens delivered by Summit Manufacturing. Since shore space was very limited, the tokens were placed in the vault on board. Today they rest on the ocean floor. I'll be doing a piece in one of the "Treasure" magazines shortly and quoting what both the manufacturer and casino operators told me to this effect.
