It was sunrise on an August morning when the captainand his crew cast their netssome 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.As the net was pulled over,thecontents poured out followed by excited cries of"Coins!Coins!"The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream:sunken treasure!And not just any treasure,but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.

In 1784,at the end of the American Revolutionary War,a heavily armed ship wasbound for the port of New Orleans.On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars.Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans,yet not a singleone arrived.With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage,historians can only guess at whathappened.Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasurehungry pirates(海盗）。Whatever happened,the secret-along with a treasure valued near＄100,000,000 in today's dollars-was sent to a watery gravesome 300 feet below theocean's surface.

Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans.Widely used andaccepted as payment in the thirteen colonies,the United States government gave them thestatus of official legal tender.Unfortunately,even though they were struck in large quantities,not many of them survive today.After the Civil War,the government withdrew themfrom circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure,GovMint.com is releasing these coins tothe public for an amazingly low price.For a limited time,those authentic silver dollars arepriced at$49 plus shipping and handling-a dramatic reduction from the market price ofthis coin anywhere else worldwide.2.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1784?（）
