I sometimes hanker for a nip of fine Rum, a spirit derived from the Molasses left over from refining sugar from cane. The Caribbean islands are well know suppliers of the beverage to pirates and naval ships. I have a different year Antigua Barbuda Rum Runner.

The high seas - new frontier adventure, trade, and piracy. You have some sweet versions of the coins with the rum barrel view of the ship from the shoreline, very nice, I'll be sure to look out for the rum runner varieties :)

You can’t go wrong with anything from the Scottsdale Mint. Those rum runners are great

Up until this post I was thinking Scottsdale was a Scotland mint with the queen and all lol.. Scottsdale AZ private co. minting up some Commonwealth coins, nice :D

Beautiful coin and a nice little setup with the chest and skull inside and that other vintage looking thing inside

Thanks, when I picked up the calico jack coin I figured it was time to put a little treasure box together for the seaworthy stacks :)

Nice touch
