Damnit Titansfan, now you've added more to the list of games I need to buy!!  Great stuff!  LOL. That's ironic, because it was due to your games posts in this very thread that I told Paul to come to this site and check out the awesomeness. Ahhh...the Circle of Life.  Peace, Chip
Glad to see both of you guys here!

Here I am holding the newest acquisition to my RMS Titanic collection: a 1906 Silver Half Dollar recovered from Titanic victim John Gill's pocket. One can't get much closer to this tragedy than touching an item that actually sailed on the Titanic 100 years ago!
Mr John William Gill, 24, was born in 1887/8, the son of Richard Gill. In 1912 he lived at 3 Griffin Road, Clevedon and worked as a chauffeur to the Rev. C R Braithwaite, vicar of Hewish St Ann, near Puxton.
He married Sarah Elizabeth Wilton Hodder at St. John the Evangelist, Clevedon, Somerset on 14 February 1912. Barely two months following their marriage Gill was embarking the Titanic at Southampton as a second class passenger (ticket number 233866, £13). His destination in America is not known but the intention was that he was to set up home for them both.
Gill died in the sinking. His body was subsequently recovered from the sea by the cable-laying vessel MacKay Bennett (#155) on 23 April. He was buried at sea the following day.
These effects were recovered from his body and returned to his widow:
Gold watch and chain
Silver match box
$43.00 in notes,
$4.60 in United States silver,
65c in United States nickels,
9 shillings in silver,
7 pence in copper
Goldring, initials J.W.G.
Pocket knife
Pocket comb in case
Case containing leads for pencil
Collar stud Pocket book with few miscellaneous papers
Bunch keys
Letter addressed to Mrs J.W. Gill.
They stayed in the family until 2002 when they were auctioned off as a lot. I obtained this one coin in the past month.
And, yes, I know my expression is stern but I felt too weird smiling while holding a coin recovered from a deceased passenger!!
