Afternoon everyone….
It’s been getting cooler and today it’s raining here in the northeast. Which is really putting a damper on me accomplishing the necessary work on a job site.
So instead of wasting time doing nothing. I decided to take a trip over to my private security place. I brought back the two boxes that I currently had to organize, log and label.
While I was there, I decided to grab four boxes this time. Why? Because we are supposed to get rain four straight days next week starting Tuesday. Which will give me time to go through these boxes.
You all know how much I love when there are ships on coins, and Portuguese are known for some amazing ships. So it’s no surprise that they have many coins with ships on them.
Today I have a 1998 Portuguese 1000 Escudos silver coin.

For being a tiny ship engraving that is pretty detailed! Very cool coin.
That's a nice one, not too old even. They sure make nice ship coins don't they?
Thanks, they do.
