MORE SHARK STOMACH COIN FINDS

Julia Casey located a couple newspaper references to coins found in the stomachs of sharks. Cool. Thanks!-Editor

sharkstomach1931 I saw the message from David Powell about the Ramsgate token found in the stomach of the shark caught off Galveston in 1931. This is the AP story about it. This is from the Wilkes-Barre Record, Oct 10 1931 but I noticed it appearing in national papers as early as August 25, 1931.

When I went to Google to look around for more information on the story - this interesting mention popped up from A View of the Coinage of Scotland (John Lindsay, 1845). page 269.
