Description

Three currency pieces retrieved from the tragic site of the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash, each deriving from the collection of the band's former guitar tech, Craig Reed. The items include two Series 1976 two-dollar bills and a 1976 Bicentennial Dwight D. Eisenhower silver dollar, all of which are accompanied by signed certificates of authenticity from Reed, who attests that the items were “in my briefcase on the Airplane crash October 20, 1977." Includes a photo signed by Reid, which shows him holding up a Bicentennial silver dollar. In overall fine condition.

Reed was a passenger on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s tragic flight bound for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on October 20, 1977, when the band’s Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi, resulting in the deaths of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and pilots Walter McCreary and William Gray.
