On the 28th, the fleet was hit by a massive hurricane, and the fleet was tossed by the towering waves and scattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadly damaged, \u003cem\u003eNuestra Señora de La Pura y Limpia Concepcion\u003c\/em\u003e was abandoned by the fleet and left to fight for her survival alone. With makeshift sails, she desperately sought a safe harbor. But on October 31 she ran aground on a reef in the middle of the Caribbean, 70 miles from land. The reef would become the famed Silver Shoals...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer legend grew, whispered in dark corners of taverns throughout the Spanish Main and West Indies... and treasure hunters searched for her for 337 years. Then in 1978, teamed with world renowned Spanish scholar, Jack Haskins, Burt Webber, Jr. discovered the coral entombed remains of \u003cem\u003eConcepcion\u003c\/em\u003e... and a king's ransom in Spanish silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of that silver was in the form of crudely minted \"cob\" coins - the legendary Pieces of 8, each with their own unique shape. Combined with centuries of sea wear and stunning patinas, each is a small work of art - a Limited Edition of one.
