^No not THAT kind of Golden Pirate!

The actual Gold Age of Piracy was circa 1650 - 1720. This was a booming time for pirates. One Eyed Willy from the classic cult hit “The Goonies” is an example of a pirate that was around in this era.

One Eyed Willy appeared to be especially fond of 22 karat gold Spanish Doubloons. Read more about that here: https://steemit.com/movie/@goldmatters/hey-you-guys

Golden Pirates like OEW also were known to wear gold jewelry. From the wikipedia link:

“Various claims and speculation about their overall image, attire, fashion, dress code, etc. have been made and contributed to their fanciful mystery and lore. For example, men wore earrings as the value of the gold or silver earring was meant to pay for their burial if they were lost at sea and their body washed ashore. They were also worn for superstitious reasons, believing the precious metals had magical healing powers.[36]”

When we put together the two facts that OEW loved 22 karat gold doubloons and wearing gold jewelry, there is zero doubt that he would LOVE mene, especially this 24 karat gold Pirate Skull Charm:

Back to the gratuitous Golden Pirate for a second:

^While this costume will cost you $130 bones, it can probably only be worn a couple times a year at a halloween party, and if you are me, even less than that.

For a few bucks more THIS 24 karat gold pirate can be worn EVERY day:

It will also preserve your wealth far better than that costume, and you can wear it to work more subtly on all the days that are NOT halloween.

This 24k gold pirate charm was recently released by the crack design team at Mene and is already receiving raves reviews :

Lets enjoy the new Mene 24k Golden Age of piracy with this beautiful new gold or platinum Pirate Skull Charm.

One Eyed Willy would most certainly approve.

I found some "real live pirate history" the other day @goldmatters. Who knew Capt. Kidd and the American Buccaneers were considered "pioneers and patriots"? Well, in 1874 they were at least! This 24k gold trimmed beauty was $1.50 in 1874 (maybe a week or more of hard labor!)....today it was $1.00.

@jbcoin will never pass up on Pirate History!
For a buck fiat?? c'mon...
