Silver Mexican Pillar Dollar

Recommended Posts

Guest paquita_I'm_a_Guest

I have a Mexican silver pillar dollar (or piece of eight) dated 1741, has anybody got any idea what it is worth. It was recovered from the wreck of the Dutch East Indiaman 'Reigersdaal' which ran aground on Springfontein Point on 25th October 1747. Has anybody any idea of its value, please contact me on paquite@tesco.net and on subject please list Mexican Silver Dollar, as I get 26 unwanted emails per day.

Many thanks, Paquita

Dear Paquita,

You only get 26 unwanted emails a day! At one stage i was getting over 1000 thanks to that bloody virus the other week.

I would help but am unable to as I only have non UK coin books stretching back to 1800.

Perhaps you could send a message to the forum member 'bob-e'. Bob is a diver and may know more about shipwreck finds of that nature.

Thanks,

Chris Perkins
