TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1)

Each lot will be sold to the highest bidder unless the reserve or starting price is not met. Bids may be submitted in person or by mail, telephone, fax, email, or live on the Internet until each lot is closed during the live session. All bids must be received before the auction session begins. Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC (hereinafter referred to as the Auctioneer) or any of its employees individually cannot be responsible for errors in bidding or the loss or delay of any bids that do not reach us by the closing date and time, or for any technical glitches that prevent internet bids from being executed. All bids are in U.S. dollars.

Winning bids will be reduced automatically by the iCollector platform to the next increment above the second-highest bid. In the case of tie bids, the earliest bidder will win the lot. Bidders are advised to provide allowable percentage increases to avoid losing lots due to a tie.

A winning bid is considered a formal contract between the buyer and the consignor. The winning bidder, even if acting as an agent for someone else, is considered the buyer, and, by submitting his bid, agrees to purchase the lot(s) he has won and to pay the Buyer’s Premium and any shipping costs, sales tax, bank-wire fees, customs duties, or other surcharges involved in delivering the lot(s) to the buyer. Certain lots (particularly artifacts) may require special packaging and handling, for which a surcharge will be levied. In some special cases delivery may be arranged directly between the consignor and the buyer, at the buyer’s cost. At no time shall the buyer have any legal recourse against the consignor for any reason. Winning bidders will be notified as soon as possible after the sale with an invoice reflecting the total amount due and shall remit payment within two weeks of notification or within one month of the date of the first session of the auction, whichever is sooner. Winning bidders who do not receive notification for whatever reason are NOT released from their obligation to pay on time. If payment has not been received within these terms, the Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) to any under-bidders for their lower bid amounts. Title to each lot does not pass until the item has been paid in full. Any late payments (one month past invoice date) will be assessed an accrued interest charge of 1½% per month.

Unless other arrangements are made, all lots will be sent to winning bidders via U.S. Mail when the invoice has been paid in full. All domestic shipments will carry full insurance, but foreign shipments are made at the buyer’s risk (insurance available in some cases). Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC is responsible for loss or damage to lots only up until they are received at the address to which they are sent; any transshipment from there is the buyer’s responsibility alone. Generally, lots will be shipped in the order in which they are paid.

A Buyer’s Premium of 18% will be added to the winning bid for the total purchase price before any applicable tax or surcharges. Winning bidders who pay by cash, check, money order, wire transfer or direct deposit are eligible for a reduction of the Buyer’s Premium by 3% (net 15%).

Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, money order, wire transfer, direct deposit, PayPal, Visa/MC, American Express and Discover. All payments by check or money order should be made payable to Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC. Payments by PayPal should be made to auction@sedwickcoins.com. All payments shall be in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Please contact us for instructions for wire-transfer payments, for which bank charges may be necessarily added to the amount to be paid, generally depending on the country from which the wire originates.

New bidders who do not have established credit with us must supply commercial references in the numismatic field and/or a 25% deposit. Credit cards are acceptable in lieu of a deposit. If your bids are unsuccessful, your deposit will be refunded, but if you are a winning bidder, your deposit will be applied to your purchase unless other arrangements are made. Any bidders with an overdue balance with Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC must complete payment of their previous balance before their bids will be accepted.

You may opt for “either/or” and/or “total budget” bids on your bid sheet. “Either/or” bids are used when you want just one (or whatever number you specify) of two or more lots but it does not matter which of those lots you get. “Total budget” bids are used when you are bidding on more lots than you expect to win and do not wish to spend more than a specified amount. Both options are subject to a minimum of $5,000 total in bids and “either/or” bids are additionally subject to a minimum of $100 per lot (below that, bidders should bid live on the Internet instead). These options are not available for bids submitted via iCollector (either live or by proxy).

Most lots are unreserved, but some lots do have a reserve or minimum bid assigned by the consignor. Any reserve will generally be at or below the stated low estimate and starting price. All estimates are given in U.S. dollars.

10)

As an active dealer, Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC is able to estimate a reasonably low wholesale level for each lot and reserves the right to reject any bids below this level (generally at least 70% of low estimate). Furthermore we reserve the right to reject any bids that we have reason to believe are not submitted in good faith. Starting bids are provided on iCollector when the auction is published, and bids below those starting bids cannot be entered. Prices realized do not necessarily reflect accurate market values so much as what the high bidder is willing to pay based on his own needs.

11)

All items are guaranteed genuine and as described. Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC does NOT guarantee that any lots can be successfully encapsulated. Auctions are NOT approval sales, and therefore returns will NOT be accepted UNLESS there was an error in the listing. Note that grading and estimation of corrosion are subjective and differences of opinion cannot be considered errors. Lots encapsulated by PCGS, NGC or any other third-party company may not be returned for any reason. Disputes as to authenticity shall be resolved by submission to PCGS, and if their determination is inconclusive, then the opinion of Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC shall stand. Any disputes, including proposed returns, must be brought to our attention no later than 2 days after receipt of the lot(s) by the buyer and BEFORE return shipment to us, with any applicable refunds to be made immediately upon receipt of the returned item(s) by us. All returns must be received by us in unaltered condition and in their original, unopened, sealed flips no later than one month after the date of the first auction session (note that late remittance, therefore, can negate return privileges). Any refunds for returns paid for by credit card will be subject to a 3% return fee.

12)

Lots may be inspected at our private office in Winter Park by appointment only during our office hours of Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. High-quality photos of all items are viewable on our website and on iCollector 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All photographs in the catalog and online are of the actual lots being sold but may not be actual size or to scale. Color and brightness of online photos may vary according to your monitor and video-card specifications.

13)

For any won lots that are sent to a Florida address, Florida sales tax (6% to 7.5%, depending on your county) will be added to all purchases of items that are NOT coins or bullion. Coins and bullion are also taxed if the total coin and/or bullion purchase is less than $500.

14)

All bidders and consignors acknowledge and agree that the Auctioneer (Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC) does NOT guarantee that auctions will be unimpaired, uninterrupted or error-free and accordingly shall not be liable for such eventualities. Any errors in the printed catalog will be rectified on the website and iCollector as they come to our attention, and those corrected listings shall be deemed the binding descriptions at the time of the auction. The Auctioneer in its sole and absolute discretion may accept or decline any bid, remove bids and reopen bidding, withdraw lots, or change lot sequence or bidding increments at any time, even after the winning bid and winning bidder have been announced. Any bidding disputes shall be adjudicated by the Auctioneer, whose decision shall be deemed binding and final.

15)

This auction is conducted in accordance with the auction laws of the State of Florida. The licensed auctioneer is Daniel Frank Sedwick, AU#3635, AB#2592. Any legal disputes regarding this auction shall be resolved through the courts of Orange County in the State of Florida.

A note about the order: As the world’s leading purveyors of New World cobs and shipwreck coins, we have always separated and highlighted our cob and shipwreck offerings from the rest of what we sell. We have preserved that arrangement in our auctions as well, with cobs presented in order of establishment of each mint (the rare and unusual mints at the end) and the shipwreck coins, ingots and artifacts presented in chronological order by wreck.

REFERENCES CITED Where possible, in the description for each lot we supply one or more numbers in reference to acknowledged publications in the field. References used in this catalog include the following: CT = Calicó’s Numismática española (2008), formerly by Calicó and Trigo (nine previous editions). KM = Krause-Mishler’s Standard Catalog of World Coins, various editions, including Spain, Portugal and the New World. R = Restrepo’s Monedas de Colombia, 1619-2006, second edition (2006).

COIN GRADING and DESCRIPTIVE TERMS From best to worst, UNC is Uncirculated, AU is Almost Uncirculated, XF is Extra Fine, VF is Very Fine, F is Fine, VG is Very Good, and G is Good, with Fair and Poor below that. (“About” or “A” means the coin is just shy of the indicated grade. Mint State refers to lustrous, choice UNC coins.) We do not always assign numismatic grades to sea-salvage and land-burial coins, which were usually Uncirculated (or close to it) before the effects of corrosion and/or cleaning. Corrosion is usually assessed, from least to most, as follows: none, minimal, light, moderate, and heavy. Also note that we sometimes use the abbreviations E for escudos and R for reales in the listings for Spanish and Spanish colonial items.

BOOK GRADING and TERMS We use several standard terms in our book descriptions, as follows: HB or HC = Hardbound (hard cover) SC = Soft cover DJ = Dust jacket ed = Edition (or editor) pp = Pages ex-lib = Ex-library (with stampings and/or card-holders pasted in) Our book grading is very similar to the coin grades above, with top condition indicated as Mint or Near Mint, then Very Fine (VF) for not new but unread (or very slightly read) condition, then Fine (F) for slightly used, Very Good (VG) for moderately used, and Good (G) for well-used condition (with Fair and Poor below that). Any significant damage is separately noted, as opposed to including it in the grade.

A NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS Coin photos in this catalog are generally shown at actual size, with the exception of large lots, which are often reduced, as are most medals, paper money, artifacts, documents, artwork and media. Photos of coins in the most recent NGC capsules have four white intrusions into the rims of the coins due to a special design meant to enable viewing of the edges of those coins.

We encourage bidders to examine lots in person at our premises in Winter Park, Florida (by appointment only). 6

TREASURE AND WORLD COIN AUCTION #8 Live on the Internet, Thursday-Saturday, October 21-23, 2010

Did you notice the change? This is not just a treasure auction—it is also a world coin auction, our first big offering of gold and silver coins from countries all over the world. Like never before, there is certainly something for everyone here. As usual we start with Gold Cobs, more than 50 of them this time (mostly from shipwrecks), including several of the finest known 1715-Fleet specimens: a full-date and exceptionally struck Mexican 8 escudos 1714 and 4 escudos 1715; a nearperfect Lima 2 escudos and probably the finest known Lima cob 1 escudo, both dated 1710 and encapsulated PCGS, the latter MS-64. Also we have no less than nine Fleet “bogeys” (Bogotá 2 escudos). The next section, World Gold Coins, contains over 300 lots, most of them Spanish Colonial “busts,” including: the finest known Mexican 1 escudo 1733/2, recovered by Marty Meylach from the 1733 Fleet and the inspiration for his book Diving to a Flash of Gold; a unique Santiago, Chile, 1 escudo, 1755/4, from the famous Eliasberg collection; and well over 100 Spanish colonial bust 8 escudos by date, most of them starting below melt value. In our Ingots section we feature a collection of large, natural gold nuggets, and in the silver you will see several important 16th-century ingots (including “tumbaga”) and a unique silver “piña” ingot from the Atocha (1622). Our exclusive Shipwreck Silver Coins section offers hundreds of Atocha (1622) silver coins, both rarities and wholesale lots, in addition to coins from dozens of shipwrecks around the world assembled by two different collectors. Our usual Mexico, Lima and Potosí Silver Cobs sections are graced by no less than four Royals (round presentation specimens) in various denominations. The Lima listings are dominated by the collection of Robert Mastalir, including a nearly complete date-run of 1R that contains several unlisted overdates. In Other Cobs we feature and a Santo Domingo 4 reales of Charles-Joanna (one of very few ever offered at auction) and a large collection of dated cobs from mainland Spanish mints. Following a short but varied Ancient Coins offering (our first), the expanded World Silver Coins section comprises over 600 lots, with particular emphasis on Colombia (featuring Part II of the Herman Blanton collection) and the British Isles (Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland). After that we feature a large collection of British Admiral Vernon medals. As usual, our exclusive Shipwreck Artifacts section is loaded with interesting items, but of particular significance are a unique Tarascan (Mexican) silver rodela (plate) from the “Tumbaga wreck” (ca. 1528) and a large gold-and-emerald pendant and gold religious medallion and chain from the 1715 Fleet. You will also see page after page of small artifacts from the 1733 Fleet, the collection of Marty Meylach himself. In Non-wreck Artifacts we offer a large selection of colonial-era weapons, mainly flintlocks and swords, as well as several natural history items like fossils and scrimshaw. We round out our auction as usual with Documents and Media (books and catalogs), ending with a special, full-color, hardbound, limited edition #1 of 50 copy of the much-anticipated The “Tumbaga” Saga, by our own Agustín García-Barneche, which he will personally inscribe to the winning bidder. In all it comes to 2789 lots, by far our biggest and most comprehensive auction. With so much to choose from, we guarantee there is something for everyone, and in case you didn’t already know: BIDDING IS FUN! Good luck, everyone.

CONSIGNORS’ BIOGRAPHIES The Roberto Mastalir collection of Lima silver-cob minors

The Marty Meylach collection of shipwreck coins and artifacts

L to R: Mariano Cohen, Roberto Mastalir, Carlos Janson, Emilio Paoletti Roberto Mastalir’s cob collection began with a chance encounter in 1983 with a Potosi cob (dated, appropriately enough, 1683), sparking a liquidation of a 35-year philatelic collection and an ongoing love affair with cobs. While running his family’s hotel business in Ecuador, Roberto found that cobs were readily available in his area but poorly understood and greatly underappreciated. He took full advantage of these facts and steadily built his cob collection, at first just Potosi but then Lima as well. He also collected more modern coins (both colonial and republican) of the various South American countries and put together a library of reference books. Resorting to US coin dealers and auction houses when the local cob supply dried up throughout the 1990s, Roberto became a loyal and savvy Sedwick client and friend. The discovery and salvage of important cob-bearing shipwrecks off the coast of Ecuador in the late 1990s was a boon for Roberto, and steered him into a rich area of research that is now his specialty: the debased and countermarked Potosi cobs of the 1640s and the transitional issues of 1652. We hope to see a comprehensive book on the topic from him soon! Selling his hotel and tourism operation in 2009 opened the door for an ideal “numismatically oriented retirement” (in his words), and after more than 25 years of coin collecting and study, he has decided to focus on his main love of Potosi cobs—all denominations and dates—and sell off his Lima collection and other coins. In this auction we proudly present Roberto’s Lima cob collection and note that it is probably the most complete date-run of ½, 1 and 2 reales to be offered since Sellschopp in 1988. Current Lima cob collectors will not want to miss the opportunity.

Marty and his wife Mary with recoveries from the first “blower” hole made by his 80’ steel salvage vessel, Hooker’s Holiday, while anchored over the site of the Maravillas (1656) in 55 feet of water on the Little Bahama Bank. Any treasure library worth its salt contains at least one edition of Diving to a Flash of Gold, a landmark 1971 work by Marty Meylach that not only detailed all the known wrecks of the Florida Keys but also opened the public’s eyes to the thrill of treasure diving, not to mention the notoriety and infamy that come along with it. Marty was just 14 when he set off on his self-described “voyage of exploration” that eventually took him adventuring to shipwrecks as far and wide as the Bahamas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Florida, Texas, Canada, Peru, Ecuador and even the Galapagos Islands. While earning commendations for saving some sixteen lives in five rescues at sea, Marty also amassed a great collection of salvaged treasures, which he has used for educational demonstrations for several decades. In this auction we offer but a portion of Captain Marty’s recovered treasures, including many items mentioned and pictured in his famous book.

The Herman Blanton collection of Colombian Republic silver coins In this auction we present Part II of the Colombian Republic silver collection of Herman Blanton. An active collector and researcher in the field since 1983, and longtime contributor and current editor of the NI Bulletin magazine of Numismatics International, Herman has narrowed his focus to the even more challenging area of Colombian cobs (he maintains the educational site www.macuquina.com) and has decided to liquidate his Republic collection for others to enjoy. He recently donated the 20th-century portion of his collection to the KHM museum in Vienna, which houses the Habsburg family collections, in order that those coins may be preserved and made available for future generations to study.

SHIPWRECK (AND HOARD) HISTORIES Throughout this catalog we offer coins, ingots and artifacts from many dozens of different shipwrecks and hoards—”treasure” in the truest sense. So as not to break up the flow of the catalog in the listings, we offer the history behind each wreck here in chronological order. Some lots in the catalog do not have histories here either because we have no further information or what we do know is brief enough to include with the lots. Please feel free to contact us for more information about any of these wrecks or about shipwrecks or treasure in general.

“Hoi An hoard,” sunk in the late 1400s off Vietnam In the early 1990s fishermen off the Hoi An coast of Vietnam began to haul in Chinese porcelains that were eventually discovered to have come from the remains of a 15th-century trading vessel. In 1997 a joint venture between the Malaysian salvage company Saga and the government-sanctioned Vietnam Salvage Company (VISAL) officially surveyed and then excavated the wreck and retrieved tens of thousands of porcelains. After division with the government and various museums, the various pieces comprising the so-called “Hoi An hoard” were then sold at auction in Los Angeles by Butterfields in 2000 for a total of $2.8 million.

“Golden Fleece wreck,” sunk ca. 1550 in the northern Caribbean This wreck was nicknamed for a royal stamping (“Golden Fleece”) on several of the gold “finger” bars (ingots) it yielded. Practically all the coins from this wreck were Mexican Carlos-Juana silver coins (all assayers prior to S), including several rarities, the most important being three specimens of the Rincón “Early Series” 8 reales of 1538, the very first 8 reales ever struck in the New World (the best of which achieved a record in 2006 for the highest amount ever paid at auction for a Spanish colonial coin: $373,750!). To date the finders of the wreck have not identified the wreck or disclosed its exact location, but they affirm it was in international waters in the northern Caribbean. Though it was a relatively small find of a few thousand coins at most, it has been the primary source for Mexican CarlosJuana coins on the market since the mid-1990s. Perhaps more impressive than the coins from this wreck are the few dozen gold and silver ingots it has yielded, all of which have entered the market exclusively through Daniel Frank Sedwick. The varying purities of these bars are reminiscent of the “tumbaga” bars (see above), although the later gold ingots were been cast in somewhat standard shapes (“fingers”) and sizes. The silver ingots from this wreck, popularly known as “splashes,” were simply poured onto the ground, leaving a round, flat mound of silver that was subsequently stamped with a tax stamp in the form of a crowned C for King Charles I and/or a fineness in the usual block Roman numerals in parts per 2400, much like the karat system we use today. The gold ingots also show a fineness marking, but no tax stamps or other markings, in parts per 24, with a dot being a quarter karat. Many of the silver and gold ingots from this wreck were cut into two or more parts, presumably to divide into separate accounts.

“Tumbaga wreck,” sunk ca. 1528 off Grand Bahama Island Before there were coins and Spanish Treasure Fleets, Hernán Cortés and his men acquired treasure in the form of Native-American gold and silver artifacts that were melted down in Mexico for easier transportation. The variable-fineness ingots thus created were known to archeologists but were not thought to exist until the discovery of a wreck full of them off Grand Bahama Island in 1992. After the salvage of what ultimately was determined to be a ca.-1528 wreck, the ingots came to be known as “tumbaga” bars and were subsequently distributed to the collecting community by Frank and Daniel Sedwick. Like most official Spanish colonial bullion, each bar was marked with the fineness (the gold in parts per 24, the silver in parts per 2400) and assayer, and especially with tax stamps to show that the king got his cut. On these particular bars the tax stamps show a legend that reads CAROLVS QVINTVS IMPERATOR for Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (who was also Charles I of Spain, son of Queen Joanna). Each bar is described in detail in the 1993 book Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, by Douglas Armstrong, a professional conservator hired by the salvage company to clean and preserve all the silver “tumbaga” bars. A new publication in the works by Agustín García-Barneche should soon shed more light on the history and manufacture of these ingots.

Spanish 1554 Fleet sunk off Padre Island, Texas The 1554 Fleet consisted of four caravels, the San Andrés, the Santa María de Yciar, the San Estéban, and the Espíritu Santo, all but the first of which foundered off what is now Padre Island in a violent storm. There were many survivors, but natives killed nearly all of them. Much of the treasure was salvaged soon afterward by the Spanish. In the 1960s two of the ships were rediscovered and salvaged by an out-of-state company, causing controversy by removing what Texans thought should belong to their state. (The third wreck-site was apparently obliterated by a dredging operation in the late 1940s on what is known as the Mansfield Cut, a manmade inlet.) Texas conducted its own excavations on the two sites in the 1970s. The 1554 Fleet wrecks have yielded almost exclusively Mexican coinage of Carlos-Juana (up to and including assayer S), some of which still washes up on the beaches of Padre Island. Even when found on the beach, these coins are illegal to own in Texas, which has declared

them all to be the property of the State, but they do trade freely elsewhere. Uncleaned specimens (mostly beach finds) are distinctively rusty in color and therefore are usually distinguishable from coins from the “Golden Fleece wreck” above.

Unidentified (presumably Spanish) wreck sunk ca. 1590 off the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico Salvaged surreptitiously by Florida divers, this wreck yielded Philip II cobs of Mexico, Lima and Potosi, some in remarkably good condition. Many of this wreck’s coins are recognizable by their jagged, truncated edges (from corrosion) with pristine interior details. Without consideration of that characteristic pattern of corrosion, the coins from this wreck can pass for Atocha (1622) coins, which is how many of them were successfully sold with fraudulent Atocha certificates in the 1990s.

Unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic In 1554 the Spanish fleet coming from Mexico, consisting of four caravels, the San Andrés, the Santa María de Yciar, the San Estéban, and the Espíritu Santo, hit a violent storm and foundered off of what is now Padre Island, Texas, where it is known that all but the first mentioned sank. The one ship that escaped, the San Andrés, did make it to Havana, but just barely, and its treasure had to be offloaded onto other vessels for the journey through the Bahama Channel and up the Straits of Florida and back to Spain. Archival records in Spain indicate that not all of the treasure from the San Andrés made it there, however. In addition to a documented loss off Portugal, there is some evidence that these ships were hit by another storm and lost somewhere in the northern Caribbean, at least one of them hitting the east coast of Florida and being salvaged by the Ais Indians. A few coins found on the east coast of Florida in recent decades, particularly in the vicinity of Cape Canaveral, seem to confirm this. Archival records also indicate that some of the treasure from the San Andrés was brought to and left at Puerto Rico to be retrieved later in the 1550s. The material we are seeing on the market today (coins, ingots and some artifacts like plates with markings) is identical to what was found off Texas, so it MUST have come from the same 1554 shipment originally, and is therefore most likely the part that was offloaded from the San Andrés in Havana. Because the salvagers say the source is somewhere off the Dominican Republic, it may have more to do with the part that was left in Puerto Rico than with the losses in the Bahama Channel.

San Martín, sunk in 1618 off the east coast of Florida Known locally as the “Green Cabin wreck,” the San Martín, sunk in a storm on its way to Spain from Havana, was the almiranta (the Admiral’s ship, effectively the rear guard of any Spanish convoy) of the Honduran Fleet of 1618. As that Fleet was nowhere near the size of the fleets from Mexico and South America, the San Martín was not carrying a large amount of coins or other treasure, most of which was salvaged by the Spanish after the sinking anyway. Modern salvage efforts on the site since the 1960s, as well as finds on the beach opposite the wreck, have yielded a few Mexican and Potosi cobs in generally poor condition.

“Rill Cove wreck,” sunk ca. 1618 off Cornwall, England The name and nationality of the ship are unknown and even the date of sinking is not certain. All we know is that records of its local salvage began in 1618. After rediscovery of the wreck by Ken Simpson and Mike Hall in 1975, eventually some 3,000 coins were recovered and sold, all silver cobs, mostly Mexican, but also from Potosí and Spain. Most of the coins are thin from corrosion but with dark toning on fields to enhance details. Because it is rather early, this wreck has yielded several important rarities like the F-oD dual-assayer issue from Mexico.

Espadarte, sunk in 1558 off the Island of Mozambique, east of Africa Discovered in 2001 by Arqueonautas and code-named IDM002, the Espadarte was a Portuguese nau that sank in May or June of 1558 after breaking her mast and being stranded in about 9 meters of water off Mozambique Island. She was on a return trip to Portugal from India and was carrying gold and porcelains, most of which was salvaged soon after sinking but at least some of which remained on the sea-bed until our time.

Santiago, sunk in 1585 on the Bassas da India atoll between Mozambique and Madagascar (east of Africa) This relatively obscure wreck sank on a reef at night due to pilot error, following which the captain and crew absconded with the one useable lifeboat, leaving some 400 or more passengers to perish on the wreck. The Santiago was found again and salvaged in the late 1970s by Ernest Erich Klaar and eventually yielded thousands of silver cobs (marketed in the 1980s) of both Spain and Spanish America (particularly the mints of Seville and Mexico). This shipwreck is also numismatically notable as one of only two wrecks (along with the Atocha of 1622) to have produced the extremely rare cobs of the Panama mint.

Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida Arguably the most famous of all Spanish galleons salvaged in our time, the Atocha was the almiranta of the 1622 Fleet, which left Havana several weeks late and ran afoul of a hurricane. Eight of the 28-ship fleet were lost, wrecked on the reefs between the Dry Tortugas and the Florida Keys or sunk in deeper water. Five people survived the sinking of the Atocha and were rescued by another vessel, but the wreck itself was scattered after another hurricane hit the site exactly one month later. The Spanish were never able to salvage what was one of the richest galleons ever to sail.

São José, sunk in 1622 off Mozambique, east of Africa

The cargo of the Atocha did not see light again until 1971, when the first coins were found by the now-famous salvager Mel Fisher and his divers, who recovered the bulk of the treasure in 1985 and thereby unleashed the largest supply of silver cobs and ingots the market has ever seen. Well over 100,000 shield-type cobs were found in all denominations above the half real, the great majority of them from Potosí, as were also the approximately 1,000 silver ingots (most the size of bread loaves). A handful of gold 1- and 2-escudos cobs were also recovered, mostly from mainland Spanish mints, but also a few from Colombia, officially the first gold coins ever struck in the New World. The Atocha was also the source for most or all of the first silver cobs struck in Colombia, as well as a few early coins from Mexico, Lima, Spain and even Panama. Even more significant were the many gold ingots, jewelry items, emeralds and other artifacts. Because of Mel Fisher’s huge publicity and because much of the treasure was distributed to investors at high ratios compared to their investment amounts, the coins from the Atocha have always sold for much more—anywhere from 2 times to 10 times—than their non-salvage counterparts, even in the numismatic market. (The “glamour market” in tourist areas elevates these coins to as much as twenty times their base numismatic value!) Individually numbered certificates with photos of each coin are critical to the retention of an Atocha coin’s enhanced value. Accompanying barcode tags with the coins also make it possible to replace lost certificates through a database system at the Fisher operation in Key West. With some exceptions each certificate also specifies the coin’s Grade, from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest), a highly subjective evaluation of corrosive damage and overall quality. Most Atocha silver coins are also recognizable by their shiny brightness, the result of a somewhat controversial cleaning and polishing process catering more to noncollectors than to serious numismatists.

The São José was the almiranta of a fleet carrying Francisco da Gama (grandson of the famous Vasco da Gama) from Lisbon, Portugal, to his new post as Viceroy in Goa, India, when the ships were attacked at night on July 22 by an Anglo-Dutch fleet off Mozambique. Suffering from disease, the captain and crew of the São José at first tried to ground her but ended up sinking in deeper water, taking many chests of Spanish silver with her. The English and Dutch made off with some of the cargo and 100 prisoners from the São José, with hundreds more people and the bulk of the treasure lost to the sea. In 2003 the salvage company Arqueonautas located the wreck and eventually recovered just over 20,000 silver cobs (all 8 and 4 reales) from Spain, Mexico, and South America.

Campen, sunk in 1627 off the Isle of Wight, England The East Indiaman Campen was part of a seven-ship fleet that encountered a heavy storm off the Isle of Wight in October of 1627. Seeking safety in the Solent north of the island, four of the ships attempted to navigate through the Needles rocks at the island’s westernmost tip and two of them—the Campen and the Vliegende Draecke (“Flying Dragon”)—sank nearby. Soon after, all of the latter ship’s cargo was saved, but only a couple thousand silver coins were recovered from the Campen, leaving about 8,000 coins to be found in our time. Most of these silver coins, recovered by divers beginning in June of 1979, were Dutch “lion” daalders, but they also included a few cobs, which are very rarely seen on the market today.

“Lucayan Beach wreck,” sunk ca. 1628 off Grand Bahama Island Since the accidental discovery in 1964 of around 10,000 silver cobs dating up to and including 1628 in 10 feet of water just 1,300 yards from the Lucayan Beach Hotel, the mystery of identifying the lost vessel has never been solved. Because of the date, popular opinion associates the wreck with the taking of the Spanish 1628 Fleet in Matanzas Bay, Cuba, by the Dutch pirate and national hero Piet Heyn, who reported losing two of the vessels on the way back to Europe. Three names proposed for the ship(s) by various sellers over the years were the Van Lynden, the Santa Gertrude (or Gertrudis) and the Romario, with scant evidence to support any of the attributions. Spanish archival research suggested a new name, Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, which sank in that general area in 1624. Since dates on the recovered coins extend past 1624, this attribution must be incorrect. A more recent recovery in the 1990s off Lucayan Beach turned up similar material, but no further clues as to the ship’s (or ships’) identity. Practically all of the coins have been Mexican 8 and 4 reales of the assayer-D period, some in quite nice condition and a few with clear dates, which are rare. Expect to pay a modest premium for specimens in white clamshell boxes produced by Spink & Son (London) in the 1960s for a promotion that capped off years of disagreements between the salvagers, their backers and the Bahamian government.

Santa Margarita, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida From the same hurricane-stricken 1622 Fleet as the Atocha (above), the Santa Margarita sank on a reef within sight of the Atocha and was found in 1626 by Spanish salvagers, who recovered only roughly half its treasure. The other half was found by Mel Fisher and company in 1980. Margarita’s treasures were similar to those found on the Atocha, with fewer coins in comparatively worse condition overall (yet not as harshly cleaned afterward). As with Atocha coins, original Fisher certificates are critical to the premium value for these coins, which is on par with Atocha coins. In 2008 divers with the subcontractor company Blue Water Recovery found more gold on the Santa Margarita and also a lead box stuffed full of pearls.

“Dry Tortugas wreck,” sunk ca. 1622 off the Dry Tortugas, west of Key West, Florida Presumably a sister-ship to the Atocha and Santa Margarita of the 1622 Fleet (above), the “Dry Tortugas wreck” was discovered in 1989 and reworked in 1991 by Seahawk Deep Ocean Technology. Among the finds were numerous gold bars (but no silver bars) and about 1,200 heavily eroded silver cobs similar in composition to the Atocha finds, all picked from the ocean floor by a robot. Cannons and other artifacts expected on a typical galleon were notably absent. The bulk of the treasure was eventually sold to a store/museum in Key West that later went bankrupt. Years later it all turned up at a bankruptcy auction, where the bulk of the treasure was repurchased by some of the former principals of Seahawk for a new museum.

Batavia, sunk in 1629 off Western Australia The story of the Batavia is a shockingly sordid tale of mutiny and murder on the coast of a continent that had not yet been settled by Europeans. The Batavia was a Dutch East Indiaman in the company of six other ships bound for the East Indies late in 1628, and she was carrying twelve chests of silver coins. Just before a proposed mutiny was to take place on board the Batavia, which had long since become separated from the other ships, the Batavia suddenly struck a reef off

the islands known as the Abrolhos in the night of June 4, 1629, due to a swifter passage across the Indian Ocean than was expected. While the ship’s commander departed for the colony of Batavia (modernday Jakarta, Indonesia) to bring assistance, the mutineers took charge of the remaining survivors and systematically murdered most of them before the commander returned several weeks later with help. Soon after, the commander recovered ten of the ship’s chests of coins in addition to some loose coins from a chest that had been already been opened, which left nearly ten thousand coins to be found in our time. The Batavia was rediscovered in 1963 and full-scale salvage commenced in 1973, under the guidance of the Western Australian Museum. Nearly all the coins were European, but at least four Mexican silver cobs were among the finds.

“San Francisco wreck,” sunk ca. 1649 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa The identity of this wreck is unknown, its nickname simply corresponding to the nearest land-area to the wreck (São Francisco) on the island of Santiago. The salvage firm Arqueonautas worked the wrecksite in 1999-2000, and though unable to identify the vessel, they theorized it was a “Spanish ship with a Portuguese Captain with money to buy slaves.” The first finds from the “San Francisco wreck,” including an extremely rare silver-plated astrolabe dated 1645, were sold by Sotheby’s (London) in December, 2000, buried in a clocks and watches auction that got little publicity in the shipwreck-collecting field. The relatively few coins from this wreck, all silver cobs from Mexico and Potosí in the mid- to late 1640s, are generally rare and appear to date just before the massive recall and melting in 1649 at Potosí that so significantly altered worldwide usage of Spanish colonial cobs.

“Mesuno hoard,” lost ca. 1636 in the Magdalena River near Bartolomeo de Honda, Colombia The name of this hoard comes from “El Mesuno,” the local name for a bend in the river where, in 1935, many hundreds of Bogotá cob 2 escudos were found in the riverbank. The latest of the coins, most of which did not show their peripheral dates, was 1636. No one knows how or why the hoard was lost; but it is known that Honda was where freshly struck coins from the Bogotá mint were offloaded from mules and put aboard riverboats to take the coins to Cartagena, on the Caribbean coast, where the coins were loaded onto galleons ultimately headed for Spain. Whether due to the sinking of a vessel or not, the “Mesuno Hoard” has been one of the world’s most important sources of gold cobs—basically the only source for Bogotá gold cobs of the early 1630s.

Lastdrager, sunk in 1653 off the Shetland Islands, north of Scotland The Dutch East India Co. flute Lastdrager set sail for Batavia (modern-day Jakarta, Indonesia) in February of 1653, during the first Anglo-Dutch war, which made passage through the English Channel unsafe. The alternate route north around the Shetland Islands proved to be equally dangerous in stormy conditions, which ultimately led to her demise. Only 26 people survived and only two chests of treasure were saved, amounting to a small portion of the total of 37,500 guilders she was carrying. Modern salvage efforts in the early 1970s yielded over 500 coins and some artifacts. The bulk of the treasure is believed to be in the still-missing stern section.

Concepción , sunk in 1641 off the northeast coast of Hispaniola

Capitana (Jesús María de la Limpia Concepción), sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador

The Concepción was one of the most significant Spanish wrecks of all time, serving the Spanish with a loss of over 100 tons of silver and gold treasure. The almiranta of a 21-ship fleet, the Concepción was already in poor repair when the Europe-bound fleet encountered a storm in September of 1641, leaving her disabled and navigating under makeshift sails amid disagreement among its pilots about their location. Weeks later, she grounded on a reef in an area now named the Silver Shoals, just east of another shoal known as the Abrojos, which the pilots were trying to avoid. After another storm hit the wrecked ship and the admiral and officers left in the ship’s only longboat, the remaining crew resorted to building rafts from the ship’s timbers. Survivors’ accounts pointed to drowning, starvation and even sharks for the approximately 300 casualties. In the fallout that ensued, none of the survivors could report the wreck’s location with accuracy, so it sat undisturbed until New England’s William Phipps found it in 1687 and brought home tons of silver and some gold, to the delight of his English backers. The Concepción was found again in 1978 by Burt Webber, Jr., whose divers recovered some 60,000 silver cobs, mostly Mexican 8 and 4 reales, and also some Potosí and rare Colombian cobs, including more from the Cartagena mint than had been found on any other shipwreck. Unlike the Maravillas 15 years later, the Concepción did not yield any gold cobs in our time, and any significant artifacts found were retained by the government of the Dominican Republic who oversaw the salvage. The bulk of the silver cobs found on the Concepción were heavily promoted, even in department stores. The site is still worked from time to time with limited success.

This wreck was the largest loss ever experienced by the Spanish South Seas (Pacific) Fleet, of which the Jesus María de la Limpia Concepción was the capitana (“captain’s ship” or lead vessel) in 1654. Official records reported the loss of 3 million pesos of silver (2,212 ingots, 216 chests of coins, and 22 boxes of wrought silver), augmented to a total of as much as 10 million pesos when contraband and private consignments were taken into account. By comparison, the entire annual silver production in Peru at that time was only about 6-7 million pesos! Obviously overloaded, the Capitana sank technically due to pilot error, which drove the ship onto the reefs south of the peninsula known as Punta Santa Elena, a geographic feature the pilot thought he had cleared. Twenty people died in the disaster. For eight years afterward, Spanish salvagers officially recovered over 3 million pesos of coins and bullion (with probably much more recovered off the record), leaving only an unreachable lower section for divers to find in our time. Ironically, the main salvager of the Capitana in the 1650s and early 1660s was none other than the ship’s silvermaster, Bernardo de Campos, who was responsible for the ship’s being overloaded with contraband in the first place. The wreck was rediscovered in the mid-1990s and salvaged (completely, according to some) in 1997. After a 50-50 split with the Ecuadorian government in 1998, investors sold most of their half of the more than 5,000 coins recovered at auction in 1999. Almost exclusively Potosí 8 and 4 reales, the coins were a healthy mix of countermarked issues of 1649-1652, transitional issues of 1652, and

the 193 people on board were able to reach the shore, and seven of them soon left in the ship’s pinnace to seek help in Batavia. When authorities there learned of the wreck, several attempts were made to rescue the other survivors and, more important, the eight chests of treasure, but no sign of the wreck or survivors was ever found. The wreck remained undiscovered until 1963 when spear-fishermen stumbled upon it and began to recover coins and artifacts. Subsequent salvage efforts, primarily under the supervision of the Western Australian Museum, whose certificates often accompany the coins and carry a small premium, have yielded only about half of the total coins officially recorded to be on board this ship.

post-transitional pillars-and-waves cobs of 1653-1654, many in excellent condition and expertly conserved. As an interesting footnote, the very coins salvaged from the Capitana by the Spanish in 1654 were lost again on the Maravillas wreck of 1656 (see next), and some of those coins salvaged from the Maravillas were lost again in the wreck of the salvage vessel Madama do Brasil off Gorda Cay (Bahamas) in 1657. Furthering Spain’s woes was the destruction of another treasure fleet in 1657 by English marauders fresh from a victory in the Bay of Cádiz off Santa Cruz on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island San Miguel el Arcángel (“Jupiter wreck”), sunk in 1659 off Jupiter Inlet, east coast of Florida

As the almiranta of the homebound Spanish fleet in January of 1656, the Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas was officially filled with over five million pesos of treasure (and probably much more in contraband, as was usually the case). That treasure included much of the silver salvaged from the South Seas Fleet’s Capitana of 1654 that wrecked on Chanduy Reef off Ecuador (see above). The ill-fated treasure sank once again when the Maravillas unexpectedly ran into shallow water and was subsequently rammed by one of the other ships of its fleet, forcing the captain to try to ground the Maravillas on a nearby reef on Little Bahama Bank off Grand Bahama Island. In the ensuing chaos, exacerbated by strong winds, most of the 650 people on board died in the night, and the wreckage scattered. Spanish salvagers soon recovered almost half a million pesos of treasure, followed by more recoveries over the next several decades, yet with over half of the official cargo still unfound. The first rediscovery of the Maravillas in the twentieth century was by Robert Marx and his company Seafinders in 1972, whose finds were featured in an auction by Schulman in New York in 1974. Included among the coins in this sale were some previously unknown Cartagena silver cobs of 1655 and countermarked Potosí coinage of 1649-1651 and 1652 transitionals, in addition to many Mexican silver cobs and a few Bogotá cob 2 escudos. The second big salvage effort on the Maravillas was achieved by Herbert Humphreys and his company Marex in the late 1980s and early 1990s, resulting in two big sales by Christie’s (London) in 1992 and 1993, which featured many Bogotá cob 2 escudos, more Mexico and Potosí silver cobs, and several important artifacts. The most recent big sale of Maravillas finds, presumably from one of the many salvage efforts from the 1970s and 1980s, took place in California in 2005, again with a good quantity of Bogotá cob 2 escudos. The wreck area is still being searched today, but officially the Bahamian government has not granted any leases on the site since the early 1990s. It is possible the bulk of the treasure is still to be found.

As well known as this wreck has become among the Florida treasure community and shipwreck collectors around the world, surprisingly little has been written about it, and not one major auction has been dedicated to its finds. The San Miguel was not a big treasure galleon in a huge convoy; rather, she was a lone aviso, a smaller ship for carrying letters and other communications quickly back to Spain. But unlike most avisos, the San Miguel was carrying some important treasure, as it was in the right time and place to take on samples of the unauthorized “Star of Lima” coinage of 1659 for the King to see. In October the San Miguel encountered a hurricane off the southeast coast of Florida, grounded on a sandbar, and broke apart rapidly, leaving only 34 survivors among the 121 people on board. Those survivors were all quickly captured by natives (Ais) and therefore had no opportunity to salvage the scattered wreck. Today only parts of the wreck of the San Miguel have been found, discovered by lifeguard Peter Leo in 1987, in about 10 to 20 feet of water and under as much as 20 feet of sand. Salvage is ongoing. Besides a couple of gold ingots and one large silver ingot, the yield to date has been modest, mostly low-end silver cobs of Mexico and Potosí, a good amount of the rare 1659 “Star of Lima” silver coinage, a couple Bogotá gold cobs, and some rare Cartagena silver cobs. All were sold through various dealers and private transactions. If the hull of the ship is ever found, as the salvagers think it will be, the market may finally see some of the gold cobs of the “Star of Lima” issue of 1659.

Sacramento, sunk in 1668 off Bay of All Saints, Bahia, Brazil The lead vessel of a 50-ship annual convoy between Lisbon, Portugal, and Bahia, Brazil, the Sacramento hit a sandbar at night and sank in a squall on May 5, 1668, sending some 400 people to their grave. Official Brazilian government salvage on the wreck took place beginning in 1976, at some point involving the famed salvager Robert Marx. Because it was chiefly a military vessel sailing from Portugal to Brazil, the Sacramento was carrying just a few consumer goods (like textiles) and not any significant amount of coins. Nevertheless, what little from the salvaging of this ship has reached collectors has been almost exclusively Portuguese silver coins with Brazilian countermarks from 1663, although a few Spanish colonial cobs (also countermarked) and a few artifacts have surfaced too.

Vergulde Draeck (“Gilt Dragon”), sunk in 1656 off Western Australia Much has been written about the loss and salvage of this Dutch East India Company trading vessel (known as an East Indiaman), which some consider to be Australia’s counterpart to Florida’s 1715 Fleet in terms of availability of reasonably priced cobs for collectors. In contrast to the Spanish treasure wrecks, the Vergulde Draeck carried only a modest amount of just silver cobs (eight chests totaling 45,950 coins), mostly Mexican but also some cobs from Potosí and Spain as well as some Colombian rarities. The ship was on its way from the Netherlands to Batavia (modern-day Jakarta, Indonesia) when suddenly it found itself wrecked on a reef some three miles from land in the early morning hours of April 28, 1656. Only 75 of

Teresa, captained by Don Manuel de Galarza, was lost, and several other vessels had to return to Cartagena. Then, while en route to Havana, the galleon Nuestra Señora de la Concepción y San Ignacio de Loyola hit a reef just past Cape San Antonio, Cuba, and was set afire after its cargo was salvaged. Reaching Havana on June 1, the ragtag 1681 Fleet finally made it back to Spain on September 2. The various lost ships of the 1681 Fleet have been salvaged off and on in modern times. While it would seem that the location of each wreck would indicate its identity, the fact is that most sources have not been well documented, and the wrecks of pirate ships with loot from the same fleet are possible as well.

Unidentified wreck sunk ca. 1671 in Seville Harbor, Spain The city of Seville is situated on the Guadalquivir River, about 50 miles inland from the ocean port of Cádiz, where treasure from the New World arrived on sea-going galleons. From there the treasure sailed upriver by boat to Seville. Sometime in 1671 it is believed one of these boats sank outside Seville, or at least its treasure was lost there somehow in the river, for in the mid-1990s a large hoard of obviously salvaged silver cob 8 and 4 reales of Potosí, none dated later than 1671, and mostly in decent condition, began to emerge from markets in Spain without provenance but reportedly found in Seville Harbor during the installation of a fiber-optic cable across the river. It should be noted that the same type of coins (with characteristics identical to those from the Seville wreck) have been sold in recent years as having come from the so-called “Señorita de Santa Cristina” of 1672 off Cádiz, but we can find no record of this ship or its salvage.

1681 Fleet (“Porto Bello wreck”), sunk in 1681 off Porto Bello, Panama The 1681 “Tierra Firme” Fleet, commanded by Juan Antonio Vicentelo de Leca y Herrara, better known as the Marqués de Brenes, left Cádiz, Spain, on January 28, 1681, and reached Cartagena, Colombia, on April 2. From there a small armada of 12 ships was sent out to assess the danger of pirates in the area, as this was the age of Henry Morgan and other privateers on the Spanish Main. Bad weather also intervened, and it was not till November that the 1681Fleet finally left Cartagena bound for Porto Bello, Panama. As the Fleet approached Porto Bello, strong winds and hard rain prevented the pilots from recognizing the land until nighttime, by which time they had passed their destination and found themselves near dangerous reefs off the Islas Naranjos. The Capitana (lead vessel), Santo Cristo de San Agustín y Nuestra Señora del Rosario, immediately anchored and signaled the rest of the fleet to anchor as well. It was too late for the merchant nao Boticaria, which struck a reef there at midnight on November 29, but gently enough that almost everyone on board was saved. Rescue boats soon arrived. As the Boticaria stayed on the reef for three days before sinking, salvagers were able save almost everything. Meanwhile, news came in that another ship in the fleet, the galleon Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, had wrecked on another reef near even farther along, off a point near a western entrance to the Chagres River known as Punta de Brujas (not to be confused with Brujas on the Pacific coast). Unlike the Boticaria, however, the 22-gun Soledad hit the reef with such force that 50 people died, including its owner, Captain Antonio de Lima. The rest of the 1681 Fleet finally reached Porto Bello on December 3, still under adverse weather conditions. More casualties arose when the ship Chaperon found herself stranded at the mouth of the Chagres River and in danger of sinking due to lack of anchoring equipment and personnel. In the process of delivering assistance, a small ship known as a tartana was lost, and by the time the other rescue ships made it the Chaperon they found that its crew had all escaped and only three boatloads of goods could be saved before the ship sank. Curiously, pirate ships under Henry Morgan, including his flagship Satisfaction, were lost in 1671 as the tartana. After taking care of business in Porto Bello, the ill-fated fleet returned to Cartagena on March 27, 1682, and on May 8 set sail for Havana, Cuba. That night yet another merchant ship, the Santa

Consolación (“Isla de Muerto shipwreck”), sunk in 1681 off Santa Clara Island, Ecuador When salvage first began on this wreck in 1997, it was initially believed to be the Santa Cruz and later called El Salvador y San José, sunk in August of 1680; however, research by Robert Marx after the main find in subsequent years confirmed its proper name and illuminated its fascinating history. Intended to be part of the Spanish “South Seas Fleet” of 1681, which left Lima’s port of Callao in April, the Consolación apparently was delayed and ended up traveling alone. At the Gulf of Guayaquil, off modern-day Ecuador, the Consolación encountered English pirates, led by Bartholomew Sharpe, who forced the Spanish galleon to sink on a reef off Santa Clara Island (later nicknamed “Isla de Muerto,” or Dead Man’s Island). Before the pirates could get to the ship, the crew set fire to her and tried to escape to the nearby island without success. Angered by their inability to seize the valuable cargo of the Consolación, Sharpe’s men killed the Spaniards and tried in vain to recover the treasure through the efforts of local fishermen. Spanish attempts after that were also fruitless, so the treasure of the Consolación sat undisturbed until our time. When vast amounts of silver coins were found in the area starting in the 1990s, by local entrepreneurs Roberto Aguirre and Carlos Saavedra (“ROBCAR”) and the government of Ecuador in 1997 under mutual agreement, the exact name and history of the wreck were unknown, and about 8,000 of the coins (all Potosí silver cobs) were subsequently sold at auction by Spink New York in December 2001 as simply “Treasures from the ‘Isla de Muerto.’” Most of the coins offered were of low quality and poorly preserved but came with individually numbered photo-certificates. Later, after the provenance had been properly researched and better conservation methods were used, a Florida syndicate arranged to have ongoing finds from this wreck permanently encapsulated in hard-plastic holders by the authentication and grading firm ANACS, with the wreck

were undertaken. But Jutten Island is no easy dive, and all attempts were abandoned until modern times. The wreck was rediscovered and salvaged in the early 1970s, yielding almost exclusively Dutch silver ducatoons from the 1600s. The number of coins found in the 1970s was around 15,000 and is believed to be nowhere near all of the treasure that was lost. Thousands more coins and artifacts were recovered by the salvage company Sealit in the 1990s.

provenance clearly stated inside the “slab”; more recent offerings have bypassed this encapsulation. Ongoing salvage efforts have good reason to be hopeful, as the manifest of the Consolación stated the value of her registered cargo as 146,000 pesos in silver coins in addition to silver and gold ingots, plus an even higher sum in contraband, according to custom.

Joanna, sunk in 1682 off South Africa An English East Indiaman on her way to Surat on the west coast of India, the Joanna separated from her convoy and sank in rough seas on a reef off the southernmost tip of South Africa on June 8, 1682, sending 10 people to their death. Eventually 104 survivors reached the Dutch colony of Cape Town, from which a salvage party was soon dispatched. The Joanna’s cargo consisted of 70 chests of silver coins, of which the salvage party reported having recovered only about 28,000 guilders’ worth. In 1982 the wreck was rediscovered by a group of South African divers led by Gavin Clackworthy, who brought up silver ingots (discs) and more than 23,000 silver cobs, most of them Mexican 4 and 8 reales of Charles II in generally low grade, but a few showing bold, formerly very rare dates 1679-1681. Over the past two decades, these cobs have entered the market from both private dealers and auctions, but always in relatively small quantities at a time. Almost all the coins are in very worn condition, usually thin and nearly featureless, but without the heavy encrustation and pitting that characterize Caribbean finds.

Association, sunk in 1707 off the Scilly Isles, southwest of England The sinking of this ship and four others in a fleet of 21 returning from the Mediterranean was one of the worst British naval disasters of all time. The Association sank on October 22 under stormy conditions after what can only be described as guesswork navigation that led the ships straight onto the rocks of the Scilly Isles, where as many as 2,000 sailors lost their lives as a result. The admiral of the fleet, Sir Cloudisley Shovell, whose ten chests of personal wealth (in addition to several others) were rumored to be aboard the Association, was one of the casualties of the sinking, although legend has it he reached shore alive, only to be murdered there by a local woman for a ring on his finger. The wrecksite was located in 1967 by British Navy divers, touching off a frenzy of activity on the site for years to come. Cannons and a few coins were raised in the 1960s, but it was not till 1973 that a significant amount of coins were found (8,000 in that year alone). These coins, mostly British silver and gold but also many Spanish and Spanish-American silver cobs, were sold at auction beginning in 1969 and into the early 1970s. The cobs presented an eclectic mix, mostly 8 reales from the 1650s forward (even a “Royal” presentation issue from 1676), but from nearly all mints (especially Lima and Potosí), some even left in as-found conglomerate form combined with British coins. It is interesting to note that parts of this wreck, like others in the area, were flattened hard to the muddy sea floor by huge boulders that still roll around with the currents, making for dangerous and difficult salvage.

“Vung Tao cargo,” sunk ca. 1690 off Vietnam Around the year 1990, Chinese porcelains dating to ca. 1690 turned up in the nets of local fishermen off the Vietnamese islands of Con Dao near Vung Tao in the South China Sea. After preliminary investigation and excavation by the government-sponsored Vietnam Salvage Company (VISAL), the main recovery under noted salvager Sverker Hallstrom took place, bringing tens of thousands of Chinese porcelains to market, mostly sold by Christie’s (Amsterdam) in 1992 for the equivalent of $7.3 million total.

Sunken city of Port Royal, Jamaica (submerged by earthquake in 1694)

DeLiefde, sunk in 1711 off the Shetland Islands, north of Scotland

As a notorious pirate hangout in the 17th century, Port Royal’s famous bars and brothels became repositories for much of the looted treasure of the Caribbean. In 1692 an earthquake sent most of the city plunging into the sea, and it never fully recovered. What was left of Port Royal became a British Naval station for years afterward and it was continually racked by hurricanes (in 1721, 1726, 1744, and 1951), fires (in 1703 and 1815), and even another earthquake (in 1907). In the period of 1965 to 1968, the famous salvager Robert Marx dove the sunken city and recovered more than two million small artifacts (many lost AFTER 1692), some of which have appeared in the treasure market from time to time.

During the War of Spanish Succession it was deemed safer to take the northern route around Scotland than to skirt French coasts in the English Channel, but in so doing the Dutch East Indiaman DeLiefde wrecked on a reef in the Out Skerries due to faulty navigation under overcast skies, leaving only one survivor to tell the tale. Prompt salvage attempts by the VOC to recover the cargo of silver and gold coins turned up nothing—looting by locals was greatly suspected. Modern expeditions in the 1960s, however, located the ship and yielded upwards of 4000 coins (mostly silver “rider” ducatoons and gold ducats) in 1966-1968, many of which were sold at auction by Glendining (London) in 1969.

Merestein, sunk in 1702 off South Africa Feversham, sunk in 1711 off Nova Scotia, Canada

This Dutch East Indiaman was outbound when she tried to put into Saldanha Bay to alleviate rampant scurvy on board the ship. On April 3, 1702, she hit reefs on the southwest point of Jutten Island and within hours was smashed to pieces. Only 99 of the 200 people aboard the Merestein survived. On board the Merestein were several chests of silver coins for trade in the East Indies and for which immediate salvage plans

The Feversham was on its way north with three other ships from New York to Quebec with provisions and cash to assist a British campaign against the French when all four ships sank on and around Scatarie Island off Cape Breton in a storm on October 7, 1711. About 100 people died in the disaster, while the remaining 49 survivors were able to bribe a passing French fisherman to take them to New York

and check the location again by boat, Kip found the source of the coins and soon formed a team of divers and associates backed by a salvage permit from the State of Florida. All of this took place over a period of years before it evolved into the Real Eight Company, whose ranks later included such luminaries as Robert Marx and the flamboyant Mel Fisher. The Fisher family still sub-leases the sites to hopeful salvagers today. The vast treasures yielded by the 1715 Fleet in our time fall into nearly every category, from coins to jewelry, precious stones to cannons, religious artifacts to Chinese porcelains. The 1715 Fleet remains the world’s largest source for New World gold cobs, while the silver cobs recovered number in the hundreds of thousands. Promotions of the coins by Real Eight and others have spanned the decades, in addition to significant auctions by Henry Christensen (1964); Parke-Bernet Galleries (1967) and Sotheby Parke Bernet (1973); the Schulman Coin and Mint (1972 and 1974); Bowers and Ruddy Galleries (1977); and even the U.S. Customs Service (2003). Despite a wealth of publications pertaining to the 1715 Fleet with names of the ships and the known locations of some of the wrecks, there is no universal agreement as to the identity of the vessel at each wrecksite. In many cases, in fact, it is possible that separate wrecksites represent different parts of the same ship. As a result, salvagers over the decades have resorted to nicknames for the sites based on landmarks, local individuals, and even features from the wrecks themselves, such as (from north to south): “Pines” (Sebastian), “Cabin” (Wabasso), “Cannon” (Wabasso), “Corrigans” (Vero Beach), “Rio Mar” (Vero Beach), “Sandy Point” (Vero Beach), “Wedge” (Fort Pierce), and “Colored Beach” (Fort Pierce). Regardless of the exact site of origin, a great majority of the coins and artifacts are sold simply as “1715 Fleet.”

for 200 pounds. Apparently no one—British or French—was able to salvage anything from the wreck in its time. In 1968 the wrecksite of the Feversham was rediscovered by a group of divers led by famous Canadian salvager, Alex Storm, whose recoveries were sold privately to a “highly-reputable Canadian institution” in 1972. In the mid-1980s the Feversham was salvaged again by a new group of divers. The Feversham’s numismatic yield was small in comparison with Spanish galleon treasures, but quite important as a cross-section of coinage in circulation in New York at the time. Mostly it was Spanish American silver cobs and Massachusetts Bay Colony shillings, many of the former with rare, weight-adjustment plugs to bring them up to standard. A small group of gold cobs— almost entirely Bogotá 2 escudos, virtually identical to those from the Spanish 1715 Fleet—was found in later salvage efforts. An abundance of auctions offered these coins from 1989 through 1999.

1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida The Spanish 1715-Fleet disaster was probably the greatest to befall any of the Spanish treasure fleets in terms of casualties and money, with reports of a loss of 14 million pesos (plus an equal or greater amount in contraband) and as many as 1,000 or more lives. It was a typical case of overloaded Spanish galleons foundering in a hurricane after delayed departure. In effect the 1715 Fleet was a combination of two fleets: the Nueva España (New Spain, i.e., Mexico) Fleet from Mexico and the Tierra Firme (Mainland) Fleet from South America, some 12 or 13 ships in all. Encountering a hurricane on July 30, all the ships were driven shoreward and destroyed except for a lone vessel, the tag-along French ship Grifón, which sailed onward without incident. Hundreds of the crew and passengers lost their lives while other hundreds of survivors improvised a camp on shore to await aid from the Spanish fort at St. Augustine, to which a party was sent. Salvage commenced soon afterward and lasted for several years. Nearly half of the vast treasure (at least the registered part) was recovered and kept in a nearby storehouse. In 1716, a flotilla of British freebooters under Henry Jennings raided the storehouse and carried off some 350,000 pesos of the treasure to Jamaica. The Spaniards, however, resumed operations until they could salvage no more and quit in 1719. The rest of the treasure remained on the ocean floor until our time. Modern salvage on the 1715 Fleet began in the late 1950s, when local resident Kip Wagner found a piece of eight on the beach after a hurricane and decided to pursue the source. With the help of a 1774 chart and an army-surplus metal detector, he located the original Spanish salvage camp and unearthed coins and artifacts. Then, using a rented airplane to spot the underwater wrecksite from the air

“Ca Mau wreck,” sunk ca. 1723-35 off Ca Mau Island, Vietnam This unidentified Chinese wreck in the South China Sea yielded thousands of Ch’ing Dynasty export porcelain manufactured under the Emperor K’ang Hsi. The finds were first offered at auction by Christie’s in 1998, but anonymously; more recently the government of Vietnam has auctioned off a major portion of the porcelains. These porcelains are quite popular among collectors of Spanish Fleet items because they are identical to the K’ang Hsi material from the Florida wrecks of 1715 and 1733.

Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off Porto Santo, Madeira Islands This East Indiaman, whose Dutch name means “Castle of Hooge” (a place in modern-day Belgium), was outbound to Batavia (Jakarta) with a load of three tons of silver ingots (15 chests) plus four chests of silver coins, three of which contained nothing but Mexican cobs. Blown off course by a storm, the Slot ter Hooge wrecked on November 19 off Porto Santo Island in the Madeira Islands (northwest of Africa), to the demise of some 221 people on board (only 33 survived). More than half the treasure was salvaged over the next ten years by the famous English inventor John Lethbridge, but the rest was forgotten until our time. In 1974 the wreck was rediscovered by the well-known salvager Robert Sténuit, who recovered many silver ingots and coins, mostly Dutch ducatoons but also some Mexican 8-reales cobs.

Guadalupe-Tolosa , sunk in 1724 in Samaná Bay, Dominican Republic

San José, El Rubí (the capitana), Chávez, Herrera, Tres Puentes, San Pedro, El Terri (also spelled Lerri or Herri), San Francisco, El Gallo Indiano (the almiranta), Las Angustias, El Sueco de Arizón, San Fernando, and San Ignacio. This last ship, San Ignacio, is believed to be the source of many silver coins (and even some gold coins) found in a reef area off Deer Key known as “Coffins Patch,” the south-westernmost of all the 1733Fleet wrecksites. In addition, many other related sites are known, mostly the wrecks of tag-along ships that accompanied the fleet proper. The first and arguably most famous of the wrecks of the 1733 Fleet to be located in modern times was the capitana El Rubí, which was discovered in 1948 and salvaged principally in the 1950s by Art McKee, whose Sunken Treasure Museum on Plantation Key housed his finds for all to see. Unfortunately throughout the next several decades the wrecksites in the Keys became a virtual free-forall, with many disputes and confrontations, until the government created the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in 1990. The removal of artifacts from any of the sites is prohibited today. In contrast to the 1715 Fleet, and because of the extensive Spanish salvage in the 1730s, the finds by modern divers have been modest, especially in gold coins, of which there are far more fakes on the market than genuine specimens. Nevertheless, the 1733 Fleet has been a significant source for some of the rare Mexican milled “pillar dollars” of 1732-1733 as well as the transitional “klippe”-type coins of 1733.

Inbound from Spain and often referred to as the “quicksilver galleons,” these two ships were carrying a cargo of 400 tons of mercury, a critical element in the silver- and gold-refining process in Mexico, where these ships were headed. In late August the ships were blown by a hurricane into Samaná Bay on the northeast coast of what is now the Dominican Republic and wrecked there in relatively close proximity to each other (about 7½ miles), which is why their names are intermingled today. Well over 500 people died in the tragedy. The wrecks were discovered and salvaged in the late 1970s and yielded many earthenware olive jars and other artifacts in addition to the mercury. In 2005 it became known that the 1970s salvage also turned up a small group of gold coins (including thirteen cobs from the mints of Bogotá, Cuzco, Lima, and Mexico), which were auctioned that same year.

Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off the coast of Norway Separated from her two companion vessels in a heavy storm, the East Indiaman Akerendam foundered off the northern point of Runde Island off the west coast of Norway on March 8, with no survivors among the 200 people on board. Throughout the next several months, five of the 19 chests of coins aboard the Akerendam were recovered, and one of those five had opened up, scattering coins over the wrecksite. No more was found, and the site was forgotten until Norwegian amateur divers rediscovered it in 1972 and brought up almost 40,000 gold and silver coins, with another 16,000 or so found the next year. Ultimately the coins were split between the divers and the Norwegian and Dutch governments, and the divers’ portion was offered as a whole at auction in 1978, following which the coins were largely assembled into leather-bound promotional sets (each consisting of one Dutch gold ducat and up to 23 silver coins, generally Mexican cobs and Dutch ducatoons and minors).

Vliegenthart, sunk in 1735 off Zeeland, the Netherlands The East Indiaman Vliegenthart (“Flying Hart” in Dutch) had just departed Rammekens for the East Indies when the deadly combination of a northeast gale, a spring tide and pilot error sent her into a sand bank behind her sister-ship Anna Catharina. The latter ship broke apart in the storm while the Vliegenthart, damaged and firing her cannons in distress, slipped off the bank and sank in 10 fathoms of water. All hands on both ships were lost. Contemporaneous salvage under contract with the Dutch East India Company was unsuccessful, but it provided a piece of evidence, a secret map, that emerged from obscurity in 1977. Stemming from that, divers employed by the former London attorney Rex Cowan discovered the wreck in 1981, and in 1983 they found their first coins, one of three chests of Mexican silver and Dutch gold coins (totaling 67,000 guilders or dollar-sized units) for the East India trade aboard the Vliegenthart. The second chest was smashed on the seabed and its contents partially salvaged, while the third chest, intact like the first, came up in 1992. The divers also recovered several smaller boxes of large Dutch silver coins known as “ducatoons,” illegally exported and therefore contraband. Among the silver coins found were thousands of Mexican cobs, predominantly 8 reales, many with clear dates in the early 1730s and in excellent condition.

Le Chameau, sunk in 1725 off Nova Scotia, Canada This French man-of-war was attempting to reach Louisburg harbor with a consignment of troops and coins for the French colony when a storm sent her onto the rocks of Cape Breton instead, killing all on board. The main wrecksite was never found until 1961, when Alex Storm spotted cannons on the seabed and led a successful salvage expedition on the site in 1965, yielding many French silver ecus and gold Louis d’ors. The Chameau has been salvaged more recently as well.

1733 Fleet, Florida Keys Much like the 1715-Fleet disaster, the 1733 Fleet was an entire Spanish convoy lost in a hurricane off Florida. However, due to the lesser severity of the 1733 hurricane, which struck the fleet on July 15, and the shallowness of the wrecksites in the Keys, there were many survivors, and four ships remained in good enough condition to be refloated and sent back to Havana. A highly successful salvage effort by the Spanish yielded even more than the 12 million pesos of precious cargo listed on the Fleet’s manifest (thanks to the usual contraband). The wrecks themselves are spread across 80 miles, from north of Key Largo down to south of Duck Key, and include the following galleons (note there is not universal agreement as to which wrecksite pertains to each galleon, and each name is a contemporaneous abbreviation or nickname): El Pópulo, El Infante,

Rooswijk, sunk in 1739 off southeast England Off the southeastern tip of England, just north of the Straits of Dover, the sea hides a most unusual feature known as the Goodwin Sands, where sandbanks appear and disappear unpredictably and move with the tides. Many ships over the centuries have sunk here and silted over, and occasionally one of the wrecks will surface and be discovered. Such is the case with the Rooswijk, a Dutch East Indiaman that foundered on the Goodwin Sands in a storm on December 19, 1739 (by the calendar in use by the British at the time), with all hands and 30 chests of treasure, virtually gone without a trace.

By chance in December 2004, the sands that had swallowed the wreck of the Rooswijk parted and allowed diver Ken Welling to retrieve two complete chests and hundreds of silver bars. Operating in secrecy, salvage continued in 2005 under the direction of Rex Cowan (in agreement with the Dutch and British governments) and is ongoing today. So far, several hundred Mexican silver cobs of the 1720s and early 1730s and transitional “klippes” of 1733-1734, as well as many more hundreds of “pillar dollars” and a smattering of cobs from other mints, have hit the market from this wreck, mostly through auction.

More popularly known in the U.S. as Reygersdahl, this typical East Indiaman was carrying eight chests of silver coins (nearly 30,000 coins) when she sank on October 25, 1747, between Robben and Dassen Islands. After four-and-a-half months at sea, the crew had anchored there to fetch rock rabbits (“dassies,” for which Dassen Island was named) and other fresh food to relieve massive illness on board the ship, on which some 125 had died and 83 were incapacitated out of 297 people; but in the face of a gale, the anchor-line snapped and the ship foundered on the rocks. Only 20 survived the sinking, and only one incomplete chest of coins was recovered. The area was deemed too dangerous to attempt further salvage. Beginning in 1979, modern salvage on the wreck by the salvage company Sealit yielded thousands of coins (as many as 15,000 by the early 1980s, when protective legislation was enacted in South Africa), mostly in near pristine condition, which have been sold in various auctions and private offerings ever since. A great majority of the coins from this wreck are Mexican pillar dollars in excellent condition, but there were also a few hundred New World silver cobs, including Guatemala cobs, which are rarely seen from shipwrecks.

Hollandia, sunk in 1743 off the Scilly Isles, southwest of England Blown off course on her way to the East Indies, the Hollandia struck Gunner Rock and sank in about 110 feet of water about 1½ miles east of it on July 13, 1743. There were no survivors. The first sign of the wreck came in 1971, when divers under Rex Cowan located the wrecksite and within a couple years salvaged more than 35,000 silver coins among the nearly 130,000 guilders (dollar-sized units) recorded to be on board the Hollandia. A great majority of the coins were Mexican “pillar dollars,” but there were also some silver cobs, including the scarce Mexican transitional “klippes” of 1733-1734 and a few Guatemala cobs, in mixed condition.

Nuestra Señora de la Luz, sunk in 1752 off Montevideo, Uruguay Actually a Portuguese vessel leased by the Spanish, the Luz left Buenos Aires in the summer of 1752 with a load of money bound for Spain and had just stopped in Montevideo for provisioning when a strong storm swept her into the coastline, spreading wreckage over a wide area and killing all on board. While over 90% of the treasure was recovered soon afterward, the powder-hold was never found, and as it turns out, that is where some 200,000 pesos (according to later reports) of contraband had been stored. In April 1992, divers working under Rubén Collado began to recover gold coins on a wrecksite in the Río de la Plata, and soon it became clear the wreck in question had to be from 1751 or 1752, as none of the coins was dated later than 1751. The finds, which were split with the Uruguayan government and then sold at auction in New York and Montevideo, consisted of mostly milled (bust-type) 8 escudos from the new mint at Santiago, Chile. Also in these auctions were 95 gold cobs and 353 silver cobs, the former mostly Lima 8 and 4 escudos (but also some Bogotá 2 escudos), and the latter mostly 8 and 4 reales from Potosí (with several more gold and silver cob sold privately). The gold is pristine, but the silver coins all show at least moderate corrosion.

Princess Louisa, sunk in 1743 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa Laden with 20 chests (69,760 ounces) of Spanish silver, the East Indiaman Princess Louisa fell victim to surprise currents and inaccurate charts and struck a reef and sank off Isla de Maio in the early morning hours of April 18. Forty-two of the 116 people aboard floated to safety on the nearby island, but nothing on the ship could be saved. Contemporaneous salvage never came to fruition. In 1998 and 1999 the wrecksite was located and salvaged by the Arqueonautas firm, whose finds from this wreck have been largely marketed by a Houston coin and jewelry dealer ever since, although some coins were also sold at auction in 2000-2001. Most of the coins were New World silver cobs from all the mints that were operating in the early 1700s (including rare Bogotá cobs), predominantly minors (smaller than 8 reales), in average condition, with quite a few preserved in as-found multiple-coin clusters.

Bredenhof, sunk in 1753 off Mozambique The Bredenhof was a Dutch East Indiaman headed to India with 14 barrels of copper “duits” (penny-like coins), 29 chests of silver bars, and one chest of gold ducats. On June 6, 1753, about 13 miles from the eastern coast of Africa and 120 miles south of the Portuguese settlement of Mozambique, the Bredenhof found herself in difficult currents and struck a reef. Amazingly, among the first items jettisoned to try to raise the ship off the reef were some of the chests of silver bars! The gold was taken by the ship’s officers, some of whom survived the trip to Mozambique, but the silver bars and copper coins were lost until modern times, despite salvage attempts in the 1750s. In 1986 divers with the salvage company Sealit found the wreck and recovered hundreds of silver ingots and hundreds of thousands of copper coins, all sold at auction by Christie’s Amsterdam that same year.

St. Geran, sunk in 1744 off Mauritius, east of Africa With a load of slaves from Senegal and a cargo of sugarrefining materials and money, the outbound French East India Company ship St. Geran foundered off what was then known as Isle de France (Mauritius) in August of 1744 to the eventual demise of all but nine people on board. The coins recovered from this wreck in modern times have all been Mexican pillar dollars from a cargo contemporaneously manifested as “eighteen chests and a barrel of Spanish piastres.”

Reijgersdaal, sunk in 1747 off South Africa

Dodington, sunk in 1755 off Port Elizabeth, South Africa (also “Clive of India treasure”)

Grosvenor, sunk in 1782 off Port St. Johns, South Africa In one of the most celebrated shipwreck stories in South Africa and England, the aging English East Indiaman Grosvenor was on her way home from India when she suddenly struck a reef and sank at Lwambazi Bay off the “Wild Coast” of South Africa. The tales of the fates of the survivors, of whom some reached European settlements and others became integrated into local tribal societies, are particularly captivating and have been greatly embellished over the years. Also exaggerated were rumors of great treasures lost on the wreck, which naturally have spurred many salvage attempts over the centuries since the sinking. In truth, very little treasure was on board, and not much has been found, to the point that genuine, certified items from this wreck are rather rare today, especially outside South Africa.

This shipwreck presents an amazing tale of survival and buried treasure, with a modern twist. Following the customary East India route, the Dodington outpaced her consorts and therefore was alone when her pilot followed an erroneous chart too closely and in the middle of the night she suddenly struck rocks and sank off present-day Bird Island off the east coast of South Africa. Of 270 people on board, 23 made it to the island, where they subsisted mostly on seagull eggs for over seven months while the ship’s carpenter crafted a rescue vessel. Meanwhile, at least a couple of the 10 chests of silver coins and the one chest of wrought silver on board the ship were recovered and buried, and the fate of each of those chests is not thoroughly known. There was also a chest of gold coins on behalf of the English military hero Lord Clive—more about that later. The survivors set off for Delagoa (Mozambique) and left behind an island that later became known for treasure-hunters and ghost stories. In the summer of 1977 the wreck of the Dodington was discovered by South African divers, who proceeded to bring up cannon and coins but no gold. In the early to mid-1990s the wreck was revisited by another set of divers and yielded more silver coins and a smattering of gold, but nowhere near the 653+ ounces recorded to be in the chest when it was loaded onto the Dodington in 1755. What is believed to be the actual Clive’s gold (by composition and total weight) was supposedly recovered a few years later in a different area entirely, reportedly in the wreckage of a pirate ship somewhat further along the East India route. Nobody knows why Clive’s chest of gold was not on the Dodington site. Either it was found by the survivors and buried on Bird Island to be picked up or absconded with later, or it was salvaged and taken away later in the eighteenth century. Because the link could not be proven entirely, and due to a protracted legal battle with the government of South Africa, this last group of gold coins was sold at auction in 2000 as simply the “Clive of India Treasure.” The composition of the silver-coin finds from the Dodington was mostly Mexican “pillar dollars” but with a good amount of Potosí and Lima cobs (predominantly smaller denominations) as well, mostly sea-worn and at least moderately corroded, sold through dealers and smaller auctions in the U.S. and Australia. The gold was all Portuguese/ Brazilian.

Nicobar, sunk in 1783 off False Bay, South Africa One of very few famous shipwrecks of the Danish East India Company, the Nicobar was outbound to India with a load of copper plates from Sweden that were actually a form of coins, inasmuch as each one bore a date, denomination and mintmark, along with the monogram of the king or queen. Demonetized in 1771, the copper “plate money” became more like ingots, with trade value at the current rate for pure copper. But the Nicobar never reached its destination: After stopping at False Bay to replenish supplies and offload sick crew, the ship left again on July 10, 1783, and ran aground in a storm that night. The wreck was rediscovered in 1987 by local fishermen, who salvaged some 3,000 copper plates, the bulk of which were sold by Ponterio & Associates in California.

Cazador, sunk in 1784 off New Orleans, Louisiana The Cazador was a Spanish brig of war headed from Vera Cruz, Mexico, to New Orleans under the direction of Captain Gabriel de Campos y Piñeda. Her cargo of some 450,000 pesos of newly minted silver coins was meant to stabilize the fragile economy in the Spanish possession of Louisiana, which had suffered from the use of French paper currency. The fact that the coins never arrived probably hastened the decision to cede the colony to Napoleon in 1800, soon after which Louisiana was sold to the fledgling United States of America for $15 million. Nobody knows how the Cazador was lost, and no evidence of the ship was found until 1993, when a fishing crew led by Captain Jerry Murphy snagged their net on something about 50 miles south of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico. When the net was brought up, it spilled out hundreds of silver coins onto the deck of Jerry’s boat, aptly named Mistake. Shortly thereafter, the fishermen obtained the rights to the find and began recoveries under the name of Grumpy Inc.

Auguste, sunk in 1761 off Nova Scotia, Canada After the end of the Seven Years’ War between England and France in 1759, French officers and aristocrats in Canada were sent from Quebec back to France in ships such as the Auguste. In stormy conditions and damaged by fire, the Auguste struck a sand bar on November 15 and subsequently sank in Aspy Bay off Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Only seven of the 121 on board survived, and the wealth of the passengers was lost until our time. To date, well over a thousand coins of various nationalities have been found, along with many important artifacts.

Faithful Steward, sunk in 1785 off Delaware The Faithful Steward was traveling from Ireland to Philadelphia with wealthy passengers and their belongings when suddenly, near Indian River inlet, she found herself in shallow water at night and in high seas, a deadly combination. She was run aground, dismasted, and by the next night had broken to pieces. Those who could not swim to shore (only 100 yards away) were killed, some 68 people in all. Local residents flocked to the beach to loot dead bodies and whatever valuables they could find.

Scipion, sunk in 1782 in Samaná Bay, Dominican Republic A valiant fighter against the English in the American Revolutionary War, the French ship Scipion was engaged in battle when she inadvertently maneuvered onto a reef and sank in thirty feet of water on October 18, 1782. Discovered in our time by Tracy Bowden, the Scipion site is still being salvaged for its important artifacts.

probably from a small, private purse and not part of the more than 2 million pesos of registered silver and gold cargo aboard the Leocadia when she departed Paita, Peru, bound for Panama in a convoy of merchant vessels. On November 16, 1800, the Leocadia struck a shoal and broke apart 100 yards from the beach at Punta Santa Elena, with a loss of over 140 lives in the disaster. Within the next year the Spanish salvaged about 90 percent of the registered treasure, leaving more than 200,000 pesos (not to mention the expected contraband) behind to tempt divers in our time. Judging from the paucity of coins from this ship on the open market, we may assume that many more are still to be found.

Even though the Faithful Steward was not a treasure ship per se, there were some 400 barrels of copper and gold coins on board, and those coins have been turning up on the beach for centuries now, hence the local nickname of “Coin Beach” for the 1-mile stretch north of the Indian River inlet.

Hartwell, sunk in 1787 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa On her maiden voyage to China, the British East Indiaman Hartwell was heavily laden with silver when the crew mutinied. After quelling the fight, the captain headed to the Cape Verde Islands to offload the mutineers. Exhausted from the mutiny, the weary sailors ran the ship into a reef off the Island of Boavista, losing the ship entirely. Fortunately all hands were saved. Salvage by the British East India Company 1788-1791 yielded nearly half of the approximately 200,000 ounces of silver cargo on board the Hartwell. Pirates at the time recovered another 40,000 coins. The wrecksite was found again and salvaged by Afrimar in 1994-1996 and by Arqueonautas in 1996-1999, providing the market with Spanish colonial bust-type 8 reales in generally poor condition.

HMS Athenienne, sunk in 1806 off Sicily The British Naval ship Athenienne was traveling from Gibraltar to Malta when she suddenly struck the fabled “Esquerques” reef some 80 miles from Sicily (Italy) and sank on October 20, 1806. Over a hundred survivors made it to Sicily in longboats, but many more hundreds perished in the wreck. Modern salvage of the Athenienne in the 1970s produced about 4,000 Spanish colonial silver bust-type 8 reales (about 10 per cent of the total believed to be on board), of which only about 500 were more than just featureless slivers.

HMS Anson, sunk in 1807 off Cornwall, England

Piedmont (“Lyme Bay wreck”), sunk in 1795 in Lyme Bay, south of England

Near the point in Cornwall called the Lizard is a hazard known as Loe Bar, among whose many victims was the 44-gun frigate Anson, which was on its way to a blockade against the French when it got caught in a gale, headed back towards Falmouth, and subsequently ran aground on the massive sandbank on December 29, 1807. A memorial to the victims was erected on Loe Bar in 1949, and one of cannons from the wreck is on view at the nearby town of Helston.

One of a huge fleet of 300 ships on their way to the West Indies to suppress a French uprising, the Piedmont was forced into Lyme Bay during a hurricane on November 18, 1795, that scattered and sank the ships of the fleet all along the Dorset coast. The Piedmont and five other ships (Aeolus, Catherine, Golden Grove, Thomas and Venus) broke apart on Chesil Beach and came to be known collectively as the “Lyme Bay wrecks.” An estimated 1,000 men lost their lives in the disaster, including well over a hundred from the Piedmont alone. In the early 1980s, the wrecks were salvaged by divers Selwyn Williams and Les and Julia C. Kent, who discovered many silver cobs of the late 1600s on the wrecksite of the Piedmont. It is presumed that the coins had been captured or recovered from a seventeenth-century wreck and stored in the vaults of the Bank of England for about a century before being transported and subsequently lost again. These coins are usually recognizable by their uniformly dark-gray color, a bit sea-worn but not overly corroded. A significant group of extremely rare Colombian silver cobs from the Piedmont (but not identified as such) was offered at auction in 1995.

Admiral Gardner, sunk in 1809 off the southeast coast of England Along with her sister-ship Britannia, the English East Indiaman Admiral Gardner was outbound with an immense cargo (48 tons!) of copper coins for circulation in India when both ships sank in a storm on the Goodwin Sands on January 24, 1809. Ten lives were lost, as was all the cargo. The coins were recovered in modern times, literally a million of them packed in wax inside wooden barrels.

“Coconut wreck,” sunk ca. 1810 in deep water off Bermuda This fascinating find has been touted as the deepest treasure wreck ever found, and it should hold that title for a long time! While searching in 1999 for Gus Grissom’s space capsule Liberty Bell 7 (lost in a test at sea, in which Grissom nearly died) from the Mercury program of 1961, underwater explorer Curt Newport (supported by the Discovery Channel) noticed an unidentified anomaly at a depth of 16,300 feet—not the space capsule (which was eventually found and recovered), but something interesting to be investigated later. That day came in 2001 when Michael McDowell used a pair of Russian submarines to view the wreck, whereupon they discovered the remains of a wooden trading vessel loaded with coconuts! A chest full of over 1300 silver coins was soon recovered, along with a small, ornate gold box containing 13 gold coins wrapped in a newspaper dated August 6, 1809. These gold coins were sold at auction in 2008 by Stack’s in New York, who dubbed this the “Coconut wreck,” despite its earlier names (given by divers and promoters) of “Piña Colada wreck” and “Atlantic Target Expedition wreck”.

Queen, sunk in 1799 off Salvador, Brazil The disaster of the English East Indiaman Queen was not the usual sinking by storms or navigation or piracy, or even mutiny; rather it was caused by a candle in a cabin while the ship was in port in the Bay of All Saints. As the ship caught fire, the crew decided to protect the other ships around it by sending the Queen out to sea, where eventually it sank. Some 80 people died, and a cargo of ceramics, war material, and tin and copper ingots was lost. Leocadia, sunk in 1800 off Punta Santa Elena, Ecuador This wreck, salvaged periodically in the late twentieth century, typically yielded portrait (bust) 8 reales from Lima, Peru, but more recent work in 2001 brought up a handful of small silver cobs of the mid- to late 1700s mostly from the Potosí mint. These were

S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 in deep water off North Carolina

We had the honor of being the first auction house to offer the silver coins from this wreck in 2008, following which we brokered a sale of the entire cache of over 1000 coins. Working with the new owner, we are privileged to offer here in Treasure Auction #6 the “Coconut Wreck Research Collection” of the top 50 silver coins from the find, consisting of one of every date and denomination found in collectible grade.

Sunk in a hurricane on September 12, 1857, the mail steamer Central America took with her more than 400 lives and over three tons of gold. The wreck lay undisturbed until 1986, when Tommy Thompson and his Columbus-America Discovery Group located the ship in 8500 feet of water. After 10 years of legal struggles, the salvagers were awarded about 92 percent of the treasure, with most of the rest going to insurance companies who had paid the claim when the ship sank. Widely touted as the greatest treasure ever found, the gold from the Central America has been very heavily promoted and cleverly marketed.

Cabalva, sunk in 1818 near Mauritius in the Indian Ocean A 1200-ton British East Indiaman on her way to India, the Cabalva struck on a reef in the Cargados Carajos (also known as the Shoals of St. Brandon) and quickly broke apart. After hauling themselves up on the dry reefs and islets, the officers and crew of the ship began plundering the cargo and even established a temporary “Beer Island,” where the ample rations of rescued alcohol were being consumed at a great rate over the course of three weeks, much to the horror of the other survivors. Upon their eventual rescue, the crew expressed regret in having to leave Beer Island, where plenty of stockpiled booze had to be left behind. In 1985 divers located the site of the Cabalva and recovered many Spanish bust-type 8 reales.

S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 in deep water off Savannah, Georgia Originally christened the Tennessee (which is how she was identified in our time), the sidewheel steamer Republic was carrying some $400,000 in specie from New York to New Orleans when she sank in a hurricane about 100 miles offshore on October 25, 1865. One of many deep targets located by the salvage company Odyssey, the site of the Republic was salvaged by submersible craft beginning in 2003. In addition to gold and silver coins of the Civil War-era United States, Odyssey found the ship’s bell with part of the name Tennessee, confirming the ship’s identity and launching a massive, ongoing promotional campaign for coins and artifacts from the wreck.

Fame, sunk in 1822 off South Africa An English wooden merchant vessel en route to England from Madras, India, the Fame succumbed to a heavy swell and found herself driven onto the rocks at Sea Point, near Table Bay, off South Africa, in June of 1822. All but four lives were saved as the ship broke in two and sank. The wreck was rediscovered in 1965 and yielded a wide variety (but not a big quantity) of coinage, not a cargo but most likely from among the personal belongings of the passengers and crew.

Douro, sunk in 1882 off Cape Finisterre, Spain

A Spanish vessel returning to Spain from Manila with the retired governor and his wealth, the Sabina wrecked off Cape Recife on August 8, 1842. She was located in our time by the salvage company Sealit, who recovered thousands of coins and donated them to the Port Elizabeth museum in South Africa.

The British Royal Mail Steamer Douro was en route to England from Portugal when she collided with the Spanish steamship Yrurac Bat and sank in the early morning hours of April 2, 1882, in deep water off the northwest coast of Spain. All but six people on board survived, but the ship and its cargo of tens of thousands of gold coins were a total loss. The wreck was found and salvaged in 1995 by Sverker Hallstrom and Nigel Pickford using a remoteoperated vehicle (ROV) at a depth of 1,500 feet. The cargo of gold coins, mostly British sovereigns was sold at auction by Spink (London) in 1996.

HMS Birkenhead, sunk in 1852 off South Africa

Elingamite, sunk in 1902 off New Zealand

Reportedly carrying £240,000 pounds of specie along with troops, the paddle-wheel steamer Birkenhead hit a rock off Danger Point and sank quickly, to the demise of some 445 people on board. However, this ship is somewhat famous as being the origin of the term “women and children first” (which Rudyard Kipling termed the “Birkenhead Drill” in his poem “Soldier an’ Sailor Too”) as the crew made sure to place them on lifeboats ahead of themselves, and in the end all the women and children survived. Salvagers in the 1980s excavated the wreck and recovered a few gold coins and artifacts but not the bulk of the fabled treasure.

A casualty of heavy fog, the steamer Elingamite was traveling from Sydney (Australia) to Auckland (New Zealand) when she struck West Island of the “Three Kings Islands” off the northern tip of New Zealand and sank in 150 feet of water on November 9, 1902. Forty-five lives were lost in all. Nearly a quarter of the precious silver cargo on board the Elingamite was salvaged in her own time, leaving most of it for divers to find in the mid- to late 1960s.

Sabina, sunk in 1842 off South Africa

Egypt, sunk in 1922 off Ushant, France In May of 1922, the Egypt encountered thick fog off the northwest coast of France and was accidentally rammed by another ship, the French cargo steamer Seine, sinking the British ship within twenty minutes. The Egypt was carrying some 15 tons of silver and gold bullion in addition to British gold sovereigns totaling £1,054,000 (1922 values). Nothing was salvaged until the early 1930s, when an Italian company recovered an estimated 95% of the treasure from the ship’s depth of 420 feet, an amazing success for its time.

Santo Andre, sunk in 1856 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa The Santo Andre was a Spanish galera that sank on July 25, 1856, on Rifona Reef off Boavista Island in the Cape Verde Islands. The wrecksite was salvaged in our time by different companies beginning in 1993 and ending in 1996, yielding thousands of Spanish and French silver coins and small artifacts.

S-M30; KM-57.1; CT-103. 26.7 grams. Even though this coin is lightly sandwashed and therefore not high grade (net XF), it is the quality and variety of strike that propel it to a potentially high level, as the date and oXMJ and shield and cross are all full, and the cross is the triple-end type that typifies the lower denominations and the 1713s more so than the 1711 8E, and in fact this variety is missing in Calicó’s La Onza book and may be the first we have ever handled, and also it is a nice color all over, with just a small edge-split.

One of the broadest-flan cob 2E we have ever seen, with choice full shield and cross-and-tressure, full mintmark-assayer to left and denomination to right, king’s ordinal IIII in legend, lustrous AU with natural rust spots at top of obverse, would be the perfect coin if it just had a visible date (tentatively ascribed to 1630 with dots inside and outside tressure).

This westbound Spanish wreck yielded only a handful of coins, all of which were sold in 2005 by Goldberg in NGC slabs stating their origin; but since then some of the coins like this one were removed from the slabs and later re-submitted to NGC and given ex-jewelry designation because their graders mistook surface damage from mercury contamination from the wreck for polishing! This specimen shows a decent full cross and crude full shield and is otherwise accurately graded.

105. Santiago, Chile, bust 1 escudo, Ferdinand VI (bust of Philip V), 1755/4J, unique and unlisted, ex-Eliasberg. KM-unl. (cf. A6); CT-unl. (type 68). 3.3 grams. This mint is famous for its ultra-rare pillar dollars, but specialists know that rarer still are the Ferdinand VI 1 escudos, which were struck in very low numbers (680 pieces in 1754, 553 pieces in 1755, and 108 pieces in 1756, quantities so low as to be comparable to the gold cobs of Guatemala) and of which ONLY TWO are still known to exist: A 1754 in VF condition plated by CalicóTrigo in their Numismática española (9th edition, 1998, p. 453, #208) and the present 1755/4 in nice AXF condition (lightly toned and problem-free). These coins are even rarer than the famous pillar 4R 1760 (4 known), the bust 2E 1758 (3 known), or the “rat-nose” type 4E of Charles III (about 10 known). While the 1754 has never been offered for sale, this 1755/4 last surfaced in the Eliasberg Collection, where it was estimated at $4000-$7000, opened at $2400, and hammered at $17,000 ($19,550 with the buyer’s fee). Needless to say, this type was absent in the famous collections of Norweb and Medina and the recent Caballero de las Yndias collection. It is the cover coin in the reference work Las Primeras Acuñaciones de la Casa de Moneda de Santiago de Chile, 1749-1772, where it is also extensively referenced on pages 85 and 249. Serious specialists in Chilean numismatics will not want to miss this opportunity to acquire a true trophy of the utmost rarity. Pedigreed to the Eliasberg collection (lot #1334). Estimate: $20,000-$25,000.

106. Santiago, Chile, bust 1 escudo, Charles III (bust of Ferdinand VI), 1762J, very rare. KM-19; CT-722. 3.3 grams. VF+ with minor marks all over, crude edge, so rare that only 3 specimens are known (and fewer than 10 known for the 3-year type), as only 540 coins were struck in this year, one of the other 2 known specimens having recently sold (Heritage, January 2010, lot 20871) for $4887 (including buyer’s fee). Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

107. Santiago, Chile, bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1780DA. KM-26; CT-734. 3.4 grams. Problem-free AVF with significantly offcenter obverse (enough to be considered an error?). Estimate: $800-$1,200.

108. Santiago, Chile, bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1798DA. KM61; CT-595. 3.4 grams. Nice AXF with contrasting toning and sediment. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Contemporary counterfeit (made to look like a Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII but bust of Charles IV, 1819JJ) struck over Santiago, Chile, 8 escudos, 1850. 26.5 grams. Fascinating coin struck from what at first appear to be official dies but the details donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match (wrong bust for the date and mint), and closer inspection reveals elements of later coin (particularly the small shield inside the Spanish coat-of-arms), almost certainly related to debasement problems at the early Chilean Republican mint, VF with weak centers. Estimate: $1,000-$2,000. 110. Santiago, Chile, 8 escudos, 1835IJ. KM-93. 26.4 grams. Lustrous XF with very faint 472 scratched into field below book. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

[then] shorn of her treasure... the Capitana made a rumbling, crackling sound and shifted ominously... we backed out frantically, dwarfed by the great hulk... above, one hundred tons of granite came unbalanced... her death roll was majestic... the Capitana teetered on her keel and fell with a grating, tearing sound... a great black cloud roiled up beneath her, and then folded its black shroud over the huge corpse as she plunged sideways into the pit, spewing an avalanche of ballast rock.” From the Capitana El Rubí of the 1733 Fleet (stated in slab) and pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection, pictured in color in his book, with letter from Marty establishing that this specific coin was the “flash of gold” that inspired the title of his book.

From an unidentified Spanish wreck sunk ca. 1554 off Santo Domingo related to the 1554 Fleet. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida 413. Unique “piña” (cylindrical raw ingot), 4312 grams. 5" wide at top, 5-1/2" tall, with 2" cylindrical hole in center. Hidden among the hundreds of large, loaf-shaped silver ingots found on the Atocha was this oddly cylindrical piece with similar markings, a very rare ingot known as a “piña” that had an important role in the “patio” refining process in Mexico. The “patio” process, invented in the mid-1500s by Bartolomé de Medina in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico, was a method by which silver could be separated from its ore by amalgamation with mercury (quicksilver). The silver ore came from the mines in large pieces and was placed in huge covered boxes where it was pounded into fragments by immense crushers. The resulting smaller pieces were then sieved and re-crushed in mortars (morteros) as needed. Then the ore passed to mills (tahonas), which consisted of round vats placed on a level with the floor, and the ore was ground into fine dust by means of heavy, oblong granite stones, powered by shaft and wheel. By the gradual addition of water during this process of pulverization, a muddy mass was formed, which at the proper time was thrown onto the cement- or stone-floor of an openair “patio,” hence the name. The silver mud (pasta) was then treated with the addition of quicksilver and a strong brine called caldo. For several days the mixture was left out and exposed to the heat of the sun and every day was stirred and tramped by animals until the quicksilver and salt were well incorporated into the ore. The resulting substance was called a torta (cake of mud); when completely mixed, the mud was carried to a lavadero (washing place) and placed in vats to be washed, which left just silver amalgamated with mercury. This amalgam was then placed in bags and the mercury was extracted by heavy pressure. The silver was finally purified by heating in a bell-shaped mold with central post, after which the outer surface was cut into octagonal cross-section, producing a pineapple-shaped cylinder with granular sides known as a piña. These ephemeral piñas soon were mostly melted down into large silver ingots for the royal mint, but some were sold to creditors or other private individuals instead and later melted. Three different classes of people shared the profits derived from working the mines: especuladores (speculators), who were basically the mineowners; creditors; and purchasers. In Mexico, the mine-owners were generally rich proprietors, who could afford to lay out considerable capital on speculation without receiving any return for a long time. In Peru, however, these speculators were mostly men of embarrassing circumstances who had to borrow short-term capital at a high rate of interest to start their mining endeavors. In order to stay in business, they had to sell their mine products quickly and at a low rate of return. Generally the mine-owner was forced to receive only one-half of his return in refined silver; the other half consisted of manufactured goods that were always overvalued and frequently of little use to him. The creditor also received payment in the form of piñas, but at a discounted rate of 5/6 of the intrinsic value. The third profiteer, the purchaser, gave money to the miner and creditor in exchange for their piñas. At remote mines especially, the miner typically required money to pay his workmen and to purchase mercury and other necessary materials and therefore had to sell his piñas to purchasers at any price. This ingot is currently one of only two known to exist (the other from the Capitana wreck of 1654 off Ecuador), with granular surface on sloping sides (octagonal in cross-section), the top hammered and marked with three or four large tax seals (quintos), serial number XIX and fineness IIUCCCLXXX (2380/2400 = 99% pure), with possible cartouche (corroded) to indicate the mine as well. From the Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida, with original Fisher tag and certificate #4193. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island

414. Large coral head with impression of the top of a large silver bar. 22 lb, roughly 14" x 10" x 8". While lacking the intrinsic value of an actual ingot, this artifact is far more interesting and attractive, being a complete head of brain coral that grew on the top of a loaf-shaped ingot and retained the markings (in retrograde) of the bar when they were separated after salvage. The visible markings include manifest number IIUDCCCLXII (2862), monogrammed owner/shipper marks (siglas) VA(N?) and A, and fineness/weight 11:18G2326M (for “granos” and “marcos”?) flanked by assayer’s cartouches (one rectangular, the other a rotated square), plus three large tax stamps (quintos), all very prominent and sharp, giving you an idea of how clearly marked the bars were before they corroded under the sea. We have never seen another artifact like this and stress that it is not just a fabulous display but is also a very important key to reading and understanding the actual ingots, not to mention that it is actually pictured on page 25 of Robert Marx’s book Sunken Treasure—How to Find It (1990). (Fragile—pickup only.) From the Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

415. Small, silver contraband ingot, 569 grams. 5" long, 1" wide, 416. Small, silver contraband ingot, 376 grams. 4-3/4" long, 1" 3/4" thick. Typically shaped “finger” ingot with no markings, lightly

wide, 3/4" thick. Typically shaped “finger” ingot with no markings,

corroded and toned surfaces, neatly cast but clearly contraband in nature. From the Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island, and pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $600-$900.

Typically neatly-formed Dutch ingot with bold Zeeland VOC monogram and faint 8-sided rose (Amsterdam silversmiths) marks on one side, one end of the bar cut diagonally twice to adjust the weight (hence lacking the usual pit), with prominent mold seams along the sides, meticulously certified as direct from the salvager. From the Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off Porto Santo, Madeira Islands, with original certificate from the salvager (Robert StĂŠnuit). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

418. Neatly formed silver ingot, 1960 grams, about 98.5% fine, with stamps of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC (Dutch East India Co.), cast in diagonal to bar width. 5" long, 1-1/2" wide, 1-1/2" thick. Shorter-than-usual Dutch ingot with very neat sides with casting seams lining up with corners and prominent plug in one end, boldly marked with Zeeland VOC monogram and 8-sided rose (Amsterdam silversmiths) on one side, darkly toned and nicely uncorroded. From the Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off Porto Santo, Madeira Islands, with original certificate from the salvager (Robert StĂŠnuit). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys

419

419. Large silver disk (contraband), 13.25 lb av (approx. 6000 grams). 7-1/2" in diameter and 1-1/2" thick. Very neatly cast disk with smooth top (no markings, of course) but rough bottom with deep crevices and curious coral encrustation that contains a rectangular strip of rusted metal, the silver lightly toned and uncorroded, very heavy and intrinsically valuable, with important pedigree, as Meylach’s book shows a picture of the author underwater on the wrecksite with the ingot in his hands with the caption “Veins bulge in the author’s forehead as he finds an ingot.” From the Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys (Tres Puentes site), and pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection (pictured in Diving to a Flash of Gold). Estimate: $2,500$3,750. 420. Contraband silver “wedge” ingot, 723 grams, possibly hollow. Roughly 4" x 3" x 2". Typically thick, pie-shaped wedge with no markings, dark surfaces with some encrustation, feels much lighter than it looks, so we suspect it has a void inside, with important pedigree. From the Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys, and pedigreed to the Art McKee museum. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1652 Transitional

570. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E transitional Type IV, choice, Royal-like specimen. S-P37; KM-A20.4. 26.6 grams. During the 1652 transition there appears to have been an effort to make some exceptional coins like this one that fall somewhere between Royals (which are round and even) and regular strikes (which are crude and uneven), and on coins like this the strikes are so full and well executed that it seems certain they were still meant to be presentation pieces, an opinion that is reflected in the presence of these coins in Lazaro’s book on Royals. The present specimen (very similar to Lazaro #125, valued at $10,000) is absolutely lovely, with the legends all bold and almost 100% full and the inner details very crisp and well defined, without even a trace of corrosion to mar the details, also lightly toned, just a hint of doubling (which is very typical) being the only negative. With photo-certificate from salvager. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

like. S-P37a; KM-21. 21.3 grams. The issuance of “quasi-Royal” coins that are not quite round or even enough to be considered true Royals continued past the transition into 1653, as the present coin demonstrates, since both sides are perfectly centered and fully detailed on a roundish flan, just most of the legend off the edge and lightly corroded all over.

Full and bold 47 of date, good full shield and cross, toned all over, Fine+ details but salvaged (which is why it is so underweight). Estimate: $150-$225. 1444.

because even though the weight is not bad and the shape is accurate, a close inspection of the cuts around the stem reveals that they are post-minting, so apparently someone (long ago, presumably) took an overweight, nearly heart-shaped coin with choice detail and cut it into what we see here (AVF with contrasting toning, holed twice). Estimate: $70-$100.

1547. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, assayer F to left, lions and castles in proper quadrants, extremely rare. S-SD1; KM-unl.; CT-unl. 11.4 grams. First specimen of this rarity we have ever offered (and very few have shown up in any auctions), and actually a previously unreported combination of Estrella #8 (obverse with F to left and oIIII to right) and #2 (reverse with P to left, S to right and motto PLV in between), with bold legends and clear inner details despite light corrosion from salvage, contrastingly toned around details. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of August 1, 2000, with lot-tag #598. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

1548. Lot of 3 Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, copper 4 maravedis, Charles-Joanna, assayer F, with key (2M 1577) and/or anchor (Jamaica 1611-16) countermarks. S-SD1. 3.2, 3.2 and 3.1 grams.

266

1550. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, copper 4 maravedis, Charles-Joanna, assayer F, with hoard pedigree. S-SD1. 1.9 grams. Clear mintmark S-P and denomination o-IIII, good centers, red-brown AVF with slightly ragged edges. With small Money Talks ad from 1975 touting the origin as a hoard of 424 coins unearthed in the Dominican Republic by Hurricane Cleo in 1964. Estimate: $35-$50. 1551. Santo Domingo, copper 4 maravedis, Charles-Joanna, assayer F. S-SD1. 2.8 grams.

Colombia 1553. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 reales, 1652R, Restrepo Plate Coin, very rare. S-B7; KM-6.3. 6.0 grams. Choice full shield and pillars with motto PL-VS-V and assayer-mintmark R-N-R, some bold legend

but particularly the full 1652 date (probably the clearest specimen known, which is why it is pictured in Restrepo), VF with contrasting toning, regrettably holed twice at top and bottom of shield. Plate Coin in Restrepo’s Monedas de Colombia (2009). Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

1554. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 reales, 1662, very rare. S-B7; KM-6.3. 6.8 grams. Choice, perfectly round specimen with full but slightly doubled inner details and much legend, best of all being the full 1662 date (also king’s ordinal IIII), which proves that this one-year variety is indeed a 1662 and not a 1652, which it emulates in style (for everything else after 1652 shows the date vertically outside the pillars instead), richly toned VF, a totally new piece to the market that should elicit excitement among Colombian numismatists. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

1555. Cartagena, Colombia, cob 1 real, RN-E to left (1620s), rare. S-C3; KM-A5. 3.2 grams. Very welldetailed full crown and shield, double-struck cross, crude edge (as made), VF+ with sediment on fields and slight scuff to right of crown. Estimate: $200-$300.

Panama 1557. “Plata corriente” cut piece of a silver ingot, stamped for use in circulation, with two tax stamps of Charles I (Emperor Charles V), very rare. 93.4 grams. Crudely cut pieces like this one were used as money in the early to mid1500s in lieu of coins struck in South America (minting did not begin till 1568), but when the coins finally came along these “plata corriente” cuts were ordered to be melted, which is why they are so rare today. This one is a heftier chunk than usual, and in particularly rare for showing tax stamps on both sides, its thickness tapering from the 3/4" interior of the ingot to its thin edge. Circulated and found in Panama. Estimate: $600-$900.

1558. “Plata corriente” cut piece of a silver ingot, stamped for use in circulation, with one tax stamp of Charles I (Emperor Charles V), very rare. 30.0 grams. Crudely cut pieces like this one were used as money in the early to mid-1500s in lieu of coins struck in South America (minting did not begin till 1568), but when the coins finally came along these “plata corriente” cuts were ordered to be melted, which is why they are so rare today. This specimen passed for roughly the same as an 8R, and is a neat wedge tapering from the 1/2" thick interior to the edge, its tax stamp on one side barely visible. Circulated and found in Panama. Estimate: $250-$375.

1559. Panama(?), P countermark on a Seville, Spain, 1 real, Ferdinand-Isabel, rare. 3.1 grams. Well-detailed XF host with Gothic legends, mintmark S near middle of reverse, tiny dots flanking the shield, but of course the valuable part is the deep, bold countermark at the top of the shield, which is believed to denote Panama (as that is where most specimens have been found), dark toning on reverse. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

1560. Panama(?), P countermark on a Seville, Spain, 1 real, Ferdinand-Isabel, rare. 3.2 grams. Darkly toned AXF with surface corrosion but good details, S to left of arrows, much legend, but of course the valuable part is the deep, bold countermark at the top of the shield, which is believed to denote Panama (as that is where most specimens have been found). Estimate: $400-$600.

1561. Silver “blob,” believed to have been made from 3 cob 8R melted in a fire in Panama in the 1500s. 77.8 grams. Highly irregular in shape but with rounded (and partially encrusted) surfaces indicating an uncontrolled melting, very curious and possibly historically important. Estimate: $60-$90. 1562. Panama, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer oX, extremely rare. S-AP1; KM-2; CT-646. 3.3 grams. Unlisted die combination (obverse is Proctor 3X, but reverse is unrecorded), and with lots of detail despite light corrosion and crude staining, showing the full AP mintmark to left and denomination-assayer I-oX to right of the shield, slightly doubled cross with distinctive tressure, no worse than AXF for actual wear. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

KM-206. 21.5 grams. Decent centers but otherwise typically crude and flat, deeply toned Fine. This brief issue resulted from a monetary reform in 1686 in which a new mainland Spanish standard of 21.9 grams per 8R was introduced at the Seville mint.

With a skeletal Cunard agent selling tickets on the obverse and the sinking of the ship on the reverse, the original of this medal was unabashed propaganda by the Germans (who torpedoed and sank the Lusitania) to show the folly of sending hapless passengers to their death in dangerous waters during wartime; but then the British realized they could portray the Germans as heartless barbarians by striking medals with the very same design! This specimen AU or better but with rusty encrustation in crevices. Estimate: $100-$150.

2401. Small, blue-on-white Chinese porcelain elephant figurine. 82.6 grams, 2-5/8" x 2-1/4" x 5/8". Very cute and wholly intact, with

trunk raised (a symbol of good luck) and body features outlined in blue, some thick and bright-white encrustation, hole in top for holding a stylus or candle, the surfaces typically slightly worn. With original Christie’s/VISAL lot tag and certificate #20374. Estimate: $250-$375.

2399. Hollow terra cotta statue of Tanit. 246 grams, 7" x 2". Slender, full-length statue of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit, intact but with light encrustation all over, hole near hollow bottom, one of 250 statues like this found on the wreck. Estimate: $250-$375.

2403. Small, hexagonal, blue-on-white

Unidentified Chinese wreck sunk in the 1450s off Indonesia

Chinese porcelain vase. 99.6 grams, 2-1/ 4" tall and 2-1/2" in diameter. Unique design in the shape of a fat hexagon with panels on each side, good color, fully intact except for a hairline crack on shoulder. With original Christie’s/VISAL lot tag and certificate #45230. Estimate: $200-$300.

2400. Chinese earthenware mercury flask. 633 grams, 8" x 4-1/2". 2404. Medium, blue-on-white Chinese porcelain lidded powerTall vessel with narrow, flat bottom and wide-shouldered top punctuated with a tiny hole, plain gray all over with little bits of whitish encrustation, fully intact (rare thus), used for carrying and pouring mercury or quicksilver. Estimate: $250-$375.

box, spherical with flat top. 141.8 grams, 2" tall and 2-5/8" in diameter. Lid and base matched only by motif, both intact except for one chip in each rim, nice glaze on the bottom. With original Christie’s/VISAL lot tag and certificate #51632. Estimate: $175-$250.

“Tumbaga wreck,” sunk ca. 1528 off Grand Bahama Island

2407. “Tumbaga” silver rodela, or moon-disc (Tarascan culture of Mexico, 1500s) stamped with Spanish Charles V tax seal and fineness (2200/2400), extremely rare and important. Approx. 3 lb, 14" in diameter. As outlined and illustrated in our newly released book The “Tumbaga” Saga (see lot #2789), this large, unique, plate-like disc of copper-silver alloy is an original Tarascan artifact that was probably an offering to their moon god and supplied to their Spanish conquerors upon urgent request. Among very few extant Mesoamerican artifacts and in fact the only one of its kind known with official Spanish markings, this disc is probably the specific kind of item being referred to in a 1527 document reporting the taxing and marking of 1180 marks of silver in “plates or discs” of “plata común de Michoacán” on behalf of Cortés. Its brethren were undoubtedly melted down to make the silver “tumbaga” bars from the same wreck. This single surviving disc shows a light assay-clip on edge and markings of the same Roman-style fineness and circular tax stamp as on the bars, a 4" center depression for stacking, light pitting all over and a light ripple from bending but 100% intact. By all accounts this is a museum piece that has eluded exact attribution and appreciation until now. With photo-certificate signed by Herbert Humphreys, Jr. Estimate: $15,000-$20,000.

378

2408. Iron barshot, professionally conserved. 5 lb 11 oz, 13-1/2" long. Early form of barshot with the puck-like ends somewhat octagonal and with the squareshank connector bar protruding out each end, very solid and well-preserved, the only one of its kind we know of from this important wreck, matte-black coating all over. With photo-certificate signed by Herbert Humphreys, Jr. Estimate: $400-$600.

Unidentified ca.-1543 wreck off Grand Bahama Island

2409. Complete ivory elephant tusk mounted on a large wooden board with plaque, very rare and impressive. 35 lb, 49" x 18". Discovered at the same time and in the same area as the now-famous ca.-1528 “Tumbaga” wreck were the remains of a slightly later wreck that yielded a very rare bronze cannon and this massive tusk (among other things), fully intact but with a few natural splits and cracks, its surfaces nicely preserved and banded securely and mounted onto a rustic wooden wall-hanging with black plaque above the tusk that says THIS ELEPHANT TUSK RECOVERED FROM CIRCA 1543 SHIPWRECK ON THE GREAT BAHAMA BANK BY CAPT. HERBERT HUMPHREYS, JR., THE OFFICERS AND CREW OF THE RESEARCH VESSEL BEACON IN 1992. / FRAMED AND PRESERVED BY RENE CHARETTE CHIEF PRESERVATIONIST. (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

1500s-1600s Spanish wreck off Scotland, possibly Spanish Armada 2410. Large earthenware olive jar with coral. 8.75 lb, 13" tall. A complete and well-preserved jar, just a tiny chip in the lip, evenly tan color all over but encrusted with several mollusk stalks, quite unlike the coral you see in the Caribbean. Estimate: $300-$450.

“Cidade Velha shipwrecks,” sunk in the late 1500s off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa 2411. Small, brass crucifix. 3.1 grams, 1-1/2". Typical cross with integrated Christ figure for wearing on a necklace, intact except for the top part, a bit rough from corrosion. With original Arqueonautas certificate #AGO-050/98/899. Estimate: $100-$150.

379

“Wild Horse River wreck,” sunk ca. 1620 in the Rio de la Plata off Colonia, Uruguay

2412. Lot of 20 large, Grade-1 quality natural emeralds, 23.0 carats total. Each up to 10mm. Dark, green nuggets, clearly salvaged but nice quality, most usable individually. Pedigreed

to our Treasure Auction #6, with lot-tag #1671 and certificate. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida

2413. High-grade emerald, 4.04 ct., table-cut and set into a rectangular women’s gold pendant with 19 diamonds. 1-1/2", 4.7 grams total. This is probably the best Atocha emerald we have ever seen in terms of both quality (dark and translucent, officially Grade 1B) and size. According to the certificate, the original gem was 9.05 ct., so more than half was lost in the cutting and faceting. Set in open-backed gold with a wreath of diamonds that extends up the bale, the whole fine jewel is ready for wearing around the neck of the most discerning treasure collector’s wife. With Fisher photo-certificate #87A-060 and appraisal for $81,000 from Emeralds International. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000. 2414. Large, high-grade emerald, cut and set into a large men’s gold ring. 25.6 grams, men’s size 15. This immense ring was specially done to match one worn by Kim Fisher (Mel’s son and the current president of their company), the emerald itself very dark and translucent (Grade 1B) and quite large (weight was 10.72 ct. when found on the wreck) but uniquely faceted (not a standard cut) and set with just enough of the back open to let light through, the 18K gold ring with cross designs on the sides. With original Fisher photo-certificate #E274 and appraisal for $54,300 from Emeralds International. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

2415. High-quality natural emerald, 2.2 carats. About 1/4". Perfectly 6-sided crystal of deep green color, not too opaque, rather nice for an Atocha emerald. Pedigreed to our Treasure Auction #4, with lot-tag #891 and Fisher photo-certificate #015/630. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250. 2416. High-quality natural emerald, 0.96 carat. About 1/4". Nicely shaped natural crystal of translucent green (not washed out like most), potentially gem quality. Pedigreed to our Treasure Auction #1, with lot-tag #375 and Fisher photo-certificate #0552. Estimate: $700-$1,000. 2417. Lot of 7 small, natural emeralds, total weight 4.47 carats. About 1/8" to 1/4" each. Typically small stones but all with nice (mostly dark) color and not washed out, still somewhat opaque. With original Fisher photo-certificates #8179 (3 stones), 8145, 1301, 8129 and 1305. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250. 380

2418. One-handled silver cup, encrusted and crushed. 335 grams, approx. 7" x 4". Atocha silver artifacts are premium pieces, but this one has not yet undergone conservation, which would require re-shaping and removal of its veneer of encrustation, with no guarantee that the thin metal would survive, so it is probably best left as a curiosity, with its one small handle prominent, the body of the piece all there but split. With original Fisher certificates #A281 and 1751. Estimate: $350-$500. 2419. Lot of 3 coral-encrusted earthenware olive jar shards. 837 grams, up to 7". Lateral pieces of large jars, very common but always nice for displays, tan with light sediment. Estimate: $25-$40.

Santa Margarita, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida

2420. Medium natural pearl, 0.4 carat, Grade 4B. 4 mm in diameter. Nice, spherical shape with lustrous nacre, one of 16,000 small pearls found in 2007 and distributed to divers and investors at very high prices. Pedigreed to our Treasure Auction #4, with lot-tag #897 and Fisher photocertificate #2907. Estimate: $250-$375. 2421. Small natural pearl, 0.21 carat, Grade 3A. 3 mm in diameter. Nice, spherical shape with lustrous nacre, one of 16,000 small pearls found in 2007 and distributed to divers and investors at very high prices. Pedigreed to our Treasure Auction #4, with lot-tag #898 and Fisher photo-certificate #3602. Estimate: $250-$375.

Unidentified ca.-1650 Dutch, English or pirate wreck off the Isle of Wight, England 2422. Small, brass navigational dividers. 26.5 grams, 2-1/2" long. Typical design with bulbous top and intermeshed hinge, frozen shut and with iron points missing but otherwise intact and nicely patinated. With Sedwick certificate from 2003. Estimate: $100-$150.

381

Lastdrager, sunk in 1653 off the Shetland Isles, north of Scotland

2423. Brass golf club head (Dutch), extremely rare. 207 grams, 4" x 1" x 1-1/2". While the game of golf is typically associated with Scotland, in fact it was imported there in the 15th century by the Dutch (who called it “colf ”), whose continuing avidness for the sport into the 17th century is proven by this club head and several others known from the time. The corpus of known specimens up to the 18th century, however, is limited to only 23, and the four recovered from this wreck are the only ones known in brass as opposed to lead or pewter. Accompanying this piece is an extensive archeological analysis, including the type of wood shaft used (pieces of which remain in the end of this club head) and a list of all known specimens and how they were found. Also included are an article and catalog excerpts from the only other time such artifacts were ever auctioned (Sotheby’s Glasgow, July 17, 1989), achieving prices of £9000 each. The object itself is very solid and intact, with lots of green patina over orangish surfaces, triangular in cross section with upward-sloping end and some green encrustation embedded in the wood bits at the other end. You don’t have to be a golfer to appreciate the rarity of this piece, but if you are a historic golf memorabilia collector, or would like to be, you must take this opportunity to own a great rarity. With articles and original certificate from the salvager (Robert Sténuit). Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

382

Maravillas , sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island

2425. Large lead sounding weight. 5 lb 15 oz,

2427. German stoneware Bellarmine jug. 1922 grams, 11" tall. This is an intact, flat-bottomed jug of a common but interesting type with narrow, single-handled neck above an applied medallion of a bearded-faced man (Cardinal Bellarmine), with most of the original orange-brown glaze remaining but with a substantial area stripped of its glaze (whether by nature in the sea or due to improper conservation) and even the medallion itself missing. Estimate: $200-$300.

Unidentified colonial-era (1600s?) wreck in the southern Caribbean

9" long. Typical design of a tapering cone of octagonal cross-section with hole at top, light encrustation here and there. With photo-certificate signed by Herbert Humphreys, Jr. Estimate: $300-$450.

2428. Nested cup-weight set in large clump. 1829 grams, 4" x 4" x 6". Fascinating conglomerate with an entire Nuremburg-style weight

set embedded in encrustation on top of several “tubes” where iron objects oxidized, piece of coral at the other end, a unique piece of original “sea art.” Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $250-$375.

2426. Iron barshot (conserved). 1215 grams, 9" long. Small for a barshot, with 1" cylindrical shot and thin bar, rusty and corroded but stabilized and sealed. With original Marex photo-certificate. Estimate: $125-$200.

Consolación, sunk in 1681 off Ecuador 2429. Large bronze cannonball (rare). 21 lb, 5" in diameter. Smooth and solid (as opposed to iron, which would rust away), with mostly dark-brown surfaces but some brassy color, very heavy and impressive. Estimate: $700-$1,000. 2430. Medium bronze cannonball (rare). 13 lb, 4-1/2" in diameter. Very solid and intact (unlike their iron counterparts, which was the point of the bronze in the first place), with about half the surface slightly porous but the other half smooth, some light patina but mostly dark brown.

“Vung Tao cargo,” sunk ca. 1690 off Vietnam 2435. Small, white, Chinese porcelain teacup. 32.1 grams, 1-1/4" tall and 2-3/8" in diameter. Plain, glossy white but fully intact (just a tiny frit in the rim), with oyster “footprint” in base. With generic certificate. Estimate: $60-$90. 2436. Blue-on-white Chinese porcelain spoon, repaired. 17.8 grams, 3-3/4" long. Very small but with bright color and intact glaze, regrettably with handle broken in shipping but reglued. With Sedwick certificate from 2005. Estimate: $35-$50.

“Pipe wreck” (English), sunk in the late 1600s off Hispaniola 2437. Small clay pipe with coral encrustation. 19.4 grams, 4-3/4" long. Typical design but with smaller bowl than usual, intact and nicely encrusted with wormy coral. Estimate: $60-$90.

2439. Lot of small artifacts: clay pipe pieces and bird-like brass

encrusted. 1366 grams, 9-1/2" tall. Bulbous jar with barnacle “footprints” all over, intact except for a small hole in the side (would make a great birdhouse) and the lack of a small handle connecting the top lip with the neck (broken off). Estimate: $75-$110.

385

Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida

2445. Important gold religious medallion and chain with full research. 98.7 grams total, chain 32" long, the medallion about 1-1/2". This is not just another religious medallion: Made of solid gold and accompanied by its original chain, it bears significant symbols in high relief on both sides that have been thoroughly researched to show that this was likely the possession of a wealthy criollo (colony-born but pureblood Spanish) coming from the New World to Spain. This symbolism comprises a scene of the Virgin Mary on a crescent on top of the baby Jesus with nativelooking figures and disembodied heads surrounding her, almost certainly in reference to the Virgen de la Guadalupe, a manifestation of the Virgin Mary to a Mexican native in 1531 and from the mid-17th century onward a revered symbol specifically of the criollo class. On the reverse of the medallion is a cross on the hills of Calvary (where Jesus was crucified), significantly with three nails (possibly stigmata) and a starburst (probably the heart of Christ) but no Jesus figure. The chain consists of hundreds of small, double-ring links, hand-crafted to a high standard. Overall the piece is in a magnificent state of preservation, with no noticeable wear or damage, a relic for all eternity. With original Fisher photocertificate #40668, an independent analysis report and a copy of Discovery Day Treasures magazine for comparison to similar 6-figure treasures offered by Mel Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s companies in 2000. Estimate: $35,000-$50,000.

This stunning jewel of a large bow-like design popular among nobility and royalty in the late 1600s, undoubtedly influenced by the notorious jewelry-collecting habits of Charles II’s wife María Luisa of Orleans, bears a staggering 62 high-grade Colombian emeralds, table-cut, in various sizes, set in 7 heavy gold “ribbons” and in a central button and large drop in the bottom, with empty sockets where 31 more emeralds once appeared, the bottom drop with empty space inside and tiny loop at top where a large interior piece with yet more emeralds once hung. Otherwise there is no other damage, save some sandwashing, which imparted matte surfaces onto the gold and emeralds, as well as small bits of encrustation here and there; but while its luster is gone, the stunning size and composition of this piece make it a unique jewel that should be recognized as one of the most important unheralded finds ever made not only on the 1715 Fleet but on any Spanish shipwreck, comparable only to some diamond jewels found by Bob “Frogfoot” Weller, and probably part of a set of emerald jewels for the Queen that were documented to have been on the 1715 Fleet and not recovered by the Spanish (original documentation from the Archives in Spain to be supplied). From the Corrigans site, found in the mid-1980s. Estimate: $35,000-$50,000.

2466.

Lead textile seal (complete). 14 grams, 1-5/8" x 1". Full seal with arms on each side (one a big, sword-wielding lion), connector strips intact, reportedly found on the beach in the area of Corrigans wreck. Estimate: $50$75.

2468. Blue-on-white Chinese porcelain lidded powder-box, perfectly preserved. 62.3 grams, 21/4" in diameter and 1" tall.

Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off the Madeira Islands 2469. Tiny brass crowbar (navigational tool?). 7.7 grams, 2-7/8" long.

With Sedwick photo-certificate from 2005. Estimate: $60-$90.

Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys Capitana El Rubí

2470. Flintlock pistol with reproduction wooden parts. 919 grams, 2471. Iron blunderbuss barrel encased in Lucite. 2425 grams, 20" 21" long. The trouble with shipwreck flintlocks is that they contain two

x 1-3/4" x 2". Surviving shipwreck iron is a rarity, so this 17-1/2"-long

materials that do not survive well: iron and wood. On this particular piece, the iron lock, barrel, buttplate and brass trigger guard barely survived, but the wood stock did not, so Marty replaced it with an accurate facsimile and trigger guard and attached the iron pieces (conserved and thickly sealed, the lock and original trigger guard now separate) to make a museum display. Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $500-$750.

octagonal-to-round blunderbuss (missing the front few inches) with still-visible touchmarks on top is one-of-a-kind and only continues to avoid rusting away by having been sealed permanently in solid, clear plastic for one of Marty’s many museum displays. Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

390

2472. Iron flintlock mechanism. 264 grams, 4" x 7". Iron does not typically fare well under the sea, but somehow this piece must have been protected (probably cocooned in coral) for all the parts of the lock are present, just rusty and corroded, but stabilized with a clear seal. Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $150-$225.

2473. Silver officer’s sword handle with reproduction blade with two Mexican 8R cobs in display box, pictured in Diving to a Flash of Gold. 8-1/2 lb, 38-1/2" x 7" x 4". Among the many museum displays Marty created from his finds and featured in his book was this teakwood open box with 33" sword fastened to a red velvet pad, the handle of the sword all original, with intact wire-wrapped grip and corroded silver pommel and guard, faithful replica blade with a corroded 8R cob on either side, one dated 1732, important pedigree. (Extra shipping charges apply.) Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $500-$750.

2474. Complete sword in coral encrustation, handle intact but steel blade removed, mounted on a wooden plaque. 8 lb, 39-1/2" long. Super-long sword whose iron blade succumbed to oxidation and the usual cocooning in coral, with its bronze handle (pommel and grip) sticking out, the cocoon carefully broken apart and voided of its rusty contents in order to prevent deterioration and then rustically fastened to a board for an impressive display. (Fragile—pickup only.) Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $500-$750.

2475. Bronze cage-hilt sword handle. 491 grams, 5-1/5" x 5" x 3-1/2". Full handle, including cage hilt and knuckle guard, grip and pommel, all in dark bronze with small bits of encrustation, just the blade missing. Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $150-$225.

2476. Bronze breech block, with explanatory letter from Mendel Peterson of the Smithsonian. 33 lb, 8" tall and 4-1/2" in diameter. Very heavy and solid, mostly dark but some patina on bottom, with large handle in side and small hole in top, basically a 17th-century “cartridge” for a smaller cannon, enabling the gunners to pre-pack the powder and shot and put the whole block into the breech, lock it in place via a protrusion in the bottom, and fire away. Three Roman numeral I’s next to the handle indicate which gun this particular block fit on board the ship. Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection. Estimate: $500-$750. 2477. Iron barshot with spherical ends. 11 lb, 12-1/2" long, each ball 3-1/2" in diameter. Two typical cannonballs with square-shank bar between them, used to foul rigging, the rough and rusty surfaces stabilized and sealed, completely intact. With DHL Rare Coins photo-certificate.

2502. Silver Columbus statue. 226 grams, 4" tall. This woman-like figurine with flowing cape was actually the top of a religious vessel known as a monstrance, several specimens of which have been found from various Spanish shipwrecks, although it is unknown exactly why Columbus was chosen for the figure on top. This specimen is totally encrusted (with an oyster shell on the legs) but retains its distinctive form, with the exception of its arms, which are missing below the elbows, important pedigree. From the Art McKee museum, with original photos (front and back), and pictured on page 51 of History under the Sea (1973) by Mendel Peterson. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

2503. Coral-encrusted flintlock pistol, with x-rays showing lead bullet still inside, professionally conserved (coral shell reconstructed, with original parts removed and preserved). 4600 grams, approx. 21" x 6". Shipwrecks and flintlocks… two very romantic concepts, but virtually impossible to have in a single item. Why? Because iron and wood degrade in the sea, and usually firearms are reduced to just small pieces of brass. Sometimes, however, a shipwreck flintlock acquires a cocoon of thick coral encrustation that retains the shape of the pistol; but such cases are ticking time bombs when salvaged because eventually the iron inside expands and blows the cocoon apart... leaving you with just pieces of encrustation and some brass fittings. One option is to keep the flintlock cocoon in water forever, but then your pistol is just a fish-tank ornament. The other option, time-consuming and expensive, is to professionally conserve it by stripping away all the oxidation and reassembling the pieces in an inert matrix. That was the process that created the present piece, which in its former, unconserved form was famously displayed by Art McKee decades ago (see pedigree), but at some point it must have de-stabilized and necessitated its drastic transformation into what you see here. The conscientious conservator meticulously recorded the procedure and retained all the component parts, mostly brass furniture but also a lead ball and gunpowder, which had been detected years prior via x-raying! Given the pedigree (including magazine and x-rays), the conservator’s legwork, and the overall display, this unique artifact is a real prize, not to mention a clear case of collector’s will defeating nature’s curse. Pedigreed to the Art McKee museum, with January 1971 issue of National Geographic magazine showing Art holding one of the x-rays and with letter to current owner attesting to its origin, also with DVD from conservator showing process. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

In 1982, on a lowerManhattan property owned by the eponymous Howard Ronson, the remains of a mid-18th century British frigate were found and excavated, in effect the only known British trading vessel from that era ever to be salvaged in North America. Its muddy tomb under New York City preserved leather and wood items like the ones in this lot that normally would disintegrate in the salt water. The shoe sole in particular is in remarkably intact condition, with the full heel and even the stitching present. Perhaps worth more archeologically than as collector’s items, but we’ll let everyone fight over them anyway! Estimate: $35-$50.

cemented onto an earthenware olive jar shard along with a piece of a bronze spike, a small lead musketball and two shells. 154 grams, 4-1/2" x 2-3/4". All original artifacts artistically assembled using new encrustation, the coin actually rather nice (probably one-sided) with clear and uncorroded details. With salvager’s certificate #8868. Estimate: $100-$150.

Unidentified Spanish wreck of the late 1700s off the coast of Brazil/Uruguay

Unidentified 1700s wreck off Central America 2520. Lot of 7 roughly faceted garnets. 5.2 grams total, up to 8 mm each. Neat little polyhedra in deep, dark purple, probably the result of temporary faceting “in the field” before final honing for jewelry. Estimate: $35-$50.

Colebrooke, sunk in 1778 off South Africa 2521. Lot of 2 East India Co. lead textile bale seals. 30.1 grams total, the larger one 1-1/2" in diameter and the smaller one 1".

Both intact, the larger one with cross-divided arms and no backpiece or connector and the smaller one with BEARD on frontpiece and blank backpiece (connector intact). Estimate: $75$110.

2523. Lot of encrusted items consisting of a complete but encrusted folding knife (navaja) and 3 incomplete sword scabbards (2 encrusted together) plus a piece of a small pewter buckle. 908 grams total. A very curious mix of unconserved items that are solidly entombed in concretion and probably not salvageable due to iron content, nevertheless interesting as one item here is the first shipwreck navaja we have seen. Estimate: $60-$90.

Unidentified late-1700s wreck (probably French) in the English Channel

2524. Lot of 3 miscellaneous, small, brass artifacts: gilded brass intaglio seal; jewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harp; pocket-watch case. 13.7, 16.8 and 29.7 grams each, the largest 2-1/2". All three items intact and readily identifiable but only the seal ornate, with bust of a gentleman in retrograde. Estimate:

$70-$100. 2525. Lot of lead artifacts: 2 steelyard weights in the form of a fish and hammer(?); 57 lead musketballs, various sizes. Over 3 lb total. The usual profusion of common balls but the other two items unusual and possibly rare. Estimate: $50-$75.

Queen, sunk in 1799 off Salvador, Brazil 2526. Large, well-formed tin ingot deeply marked with seals for the English East India Co. and the Cornish tin- mining company Donithorne, very rare. 66 lb, approx. 21" x 5-1/2" x 3". At first glance one would think and hope that this long, rectangular object with 2-1/2" extensions for handles on top is a rather large silver ingot; and while its actual composition of pure tin is not as intrinsically valuable, its rarity and importance cannot be understated, as very few such items have ever been reported as recovered from shipwrecks. In fact the only other one we can trace is from the Earl of Abergavenny (sunk in 1805 off Weymouth, England), another East India Co. vessel from the same time period. Both ingots bear very large, deep and clearly readable round seals, one of which shows the heart-shaped E.I.C. logo, while the other is the company logo for Donithorne London, a well-known exporter of tin from Cornwall. Tin was in much demand around the world for making pewter, brass and bronze. So important were the ingots heading to China, in fact, that contemporaneous salvagers just after the sinking of both wrecks were sure to retrieve them, leaving only these two for us to study. To our knowledge this is the first shipwreck tin ingot ever to be offered at auction. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

2527. Complete chinaware (white) place setting for 6 people, consisting of the following, all intact but plain: 6 dinner plates, 6 dessert plates, 6 soup bowls, 6 large teacups, 6 medium teacups, 6 small teacups, 1 oval serving bowl, 2 small oval serving dishes, and 1 gravy boat. The plates 7" and 9", the cups 2" and 2-1/4" and 2-1/2". While each piece in this spread is plain white (glaze intact), with no markings, the completeness of the set is remarkable, as this was not a Chinese wreck with thousands of sets in cargo; rather, this set was probably in the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen or officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarters, even though each piece really does not look used, just a few with light stains from the sea and crackling or chipping in the glaze only. While this set is ideal for reselling piecemeal, we urge potential bidders to consider how cool it would be to have a dinner party for six on china from an 18th-century English E.I. Co. shipwreck! (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

2528. Glazed earthenware chamber-pot, blue flower pattern. 1477 grams, 7-1/2" tall and 7-1/4" in diameter. Wonderfully intact, even the glaze and design, except for small chips and cracks in the top lip and handle, where there are also some small patches of coral encrustation, rare to have survived so well. Estimate: $500-$750. 400

Lot of 9 small nails and spikes. 63 grams total, each about 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" long. All but one fully intact, with round heads and square shanks, sharp points, great for resale or small gifts.

With original article about a similar specimen in Treasure Hunting magazine (August, 1999). Estimate: $50-$75.

2592. Spanish-American War-era US Navy flag, dated 1887, rare. 485 grams, 45" x 79". Historic flags are in high demand, especially in

mint condition like this one, officially known as a “naval ensign,” with brass grommets marked “Pat’d Aug. 28, 1884 N&O” and stenciled along the canton with US ENSIGN NO.6 NAVY YARD NEW YORK DEC 19, 1887, all its parts separately sewn (nice stitching), no stains or rips but with one small hole in the blue field. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

2593. Brass military belt buckle, ca. 1900 (patent dated 1881), found and used in Panama under the Colombia Republic. 71 grams, 2-3/4" x 2-3/8". From 1821 to 1903, Panama was a part of the Republic of Colombia, and this buckle dates to that period, with the Colombian arms and EJERCITO NACIONAL / COLUMNA DE PANAMA on the front (otherwise plain), perfectly intact but in need of polishing. Estimate: $60-$90.

2594. WWII-era US Navy depth charge (inert), dated 1943. Approx. 75 lb, 28" tall and 18" in diameter. Yes, it looks like just a

(slightly) rusty 10-gallon drum, but its top bears a plaque engraved with “Depth Charge Case-Mk VI,” anchor mark, date 3-20-43 and “Beatrice Steel Tank Mfg. Co.,” also with stenciling showing the serial number and inspection certification, plus a screwed-in plug and riveted seal. Originally meant for floating in the sea to destroy passing ships but now certified to be inert, this great piece of WWII history comes from the San Francisco Bay Area’s Mare Island Naval Shipyard (officially the first US Navy shipyard on the Pacific coast, opened in 1854), where it was acquired by a naval officer when the shipyard closed in 1996. (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $800-$1,200.

Miscellaneous

2609. Large Nuremburg “armada” chest, late 1500s to mid-1600s, with key, in working order. 28" x 16-1/2" x 18". When people think of pirates’ “treasure chests,” this is the image that comes to mind, but the truth is that these more or less mass-produced boxes were like the Diebold safes of their time, being way too heavy and bulky (yet eminently secure) to carry anywhere, full or otherwise. They were for castles and manors, and indeed held great treasures, yet most rusted away, making fully intact and functional specimens like this one rare and in high demand. The lock mechanism is operated by a single keyhole in the top, with swivel cover normally hiding it, and not the larger and more obvious false keyhole in the front. Opening the chest and propping the lid on a curved bar inside reveals the workings of the lock on the underside of the lid (missing the decorative cover), which throws 6 bolts around the lip all at once, the usual 4 in the back replaced with simple cusps. Inside the chest is a smaller box to one side with its own lock (unfortunately closed and unopenable without its key). The exterior of the chest bears large handles on the sides and a strap (one of 2 originally) to hold down bolt-loops on the lid when shut. As usual, the chest is painted black on the outside and red on the inside, all with a light veneer of rusty color. (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $7,500-$10,000.

2610. Small, iron Nuremburg chest, late 1500s or early 1600s but the exterior artistically painted in the 1700s in Peru, with original key. 1311 grams, 8" x 3-3/ 4" x 3-1/2". Intact and very cute little chest of classic design with two-bolt locking mechanism inside the lid, small handles on sides, the entire exterior vividly painted with a battle scene between two men (one with shield and spear and the other with a sling) on the front and two coats of arms on the top, perhaps in reference to a specific event. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

415

2614. Small stoneware “Bellarmine” jug, probably 1600s. 879 grams, 8-1/2" tall and 5" in diameter. Cute little jug with the usual 2611. Small wooden chest with iron lock, Spanish colonial, ca. 1780. 2106 grams, 16" x 7" x 7-1/4". Somewhat spartan but with classic, humped-lid design, bent-wire hinges (2) but more ornate lock on top and front (its key missing), solid and sturdy but exterior appears to be polished and repatinated. Estimate: $350-$500.

Estimate: $100$150. 2613. Spanish earthenware olive jar (small), 1600s, from Las Cruces Trail in Panama, with original cork inside. 6.25 lb, 9-3/4" tall and 9" in diameter. A wholly intact piece showing its original whitish color (all the shipwreck ones are stripped to the orange base), just a few chips here and there and small (intentional?) hole near the neck, the cork shrunken and pushed in but present. Estimate: $200-$300.

speckled-brown glaze and bearded-face medallion on shoulder opposite the single handle, with a sunburst medallion below the face, fully intact but oddly with part of the side caved in (as made). Estimate: $100$150.

2615. Ornate silver cake knife from wedding of Dutch (VOC) fleet commander Apollonius Scott in Indonesia, early 1600s, with framed reproduction of the 1753 inheritance letter of William Browne of Salem, Mass. The knife 38.5 grams and 7-1/2" long; frame 12" x 15". When is the last time you saw a single utensil mentioned specifically in a will? That is how important this heirloom must have been to the Browne family, and examining the piece will show you why: The ornate, hollow, rectangular handle is completely covered in engraved decorations depicting various wedding couples and family trees, etc. with Latin wording interspersed, the narrow sides with APOLLONIVS + SCOTT (curiously misspelled, who, as the letter says, was “the Father... of said Bishop Burnett’s Lady”) and “Erst fien end dan betrachten” (“first consider the end”?), hallmarks B.G, head, lion and D on the blade, the silver worn but with all its details clear.

How often do you get a chance to own an actual piece of a VOC sailing vessel? Now is your chance with this long, oar like paddle with small, reinforced side grip, glossy surfaces with dark color but traces of red paint here and there, reinforced split at paddle end but 100% intact and a great display for office or den. (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $400-$600. 2627. Brass marlinspike, early Spanish colonial (1500s). 45.5 grams, 4-1/2" long.

From a colonial site in the southern Caribbean. Estimate: $50-$75.

318 grams total, approx. 1" to 2-5/ 8" each. All rusty and crusty but

Brass wax-seal stamp, 1800s, balance-scale design (reminiscent of Mexican coins of the late 1800s). 26.1 grams, 3" long. At first this appears to be a die-punch, but the design of a balance scale with crossed sword and baton does not match any coins we know of, and the post is too thin to be hammerable, so we conclude instead that it is a wax seal for some governmental department in Panama, where it was found, well detailed and in perfect condition. Estimate: $100-$150.

2644. Pair of gilt-bronze shoe-buckles, early Spanish colonial (1500s). 39.4 grams total, each 1-3/4" x 1-1/2".

From a colonial site in the southern Caribbean. Estimate: $50-$75.

Originally printed in 1775, this famous map of Florida and the Bahamas by Thomas Jefferys for Bernard Romans’ A Concise Natural History of East and West Florida played a pivotal role identifying the Spanish 1715 Fleet in modern times, and naturally has been reprinted many times, this version with the names and data of wrecks in the area printed in the margins, mint condition. Estimate: $25-$40.

2684. 1710 skin-bound sheaf of Spanish official handwritten manuscripts on royal paper (some with seals at top). 8-1/2" x 121/2". We see plenty of these pages—various official documents flowingly hand-written by government scribes and usually with seals and/or tax stamps—but never whole books of them like this with original cover (with tie closures), this particular 142-page sheaf being the legal file of one Doña Juliana María de Tapia Espinosa (marriage, inheritance, etc) of Medina del Campo, Spain, great condition for its age and nature. Estimate: $200-$300.

428

2691. Dozens of original coin photos (plates) by Pradeau for his book Numismatic History of Mexico (1938), a copy of which (1st edition, hard cover) is included. No Mexican numismatic library would be complete without the classic Pradeau reference, a pioneering work that spawned a generation of collectors who have mostly passed on by now. Many of our clients have this book, either in one of its many reprints or in its 1938 original edition; but NO ONE has the original photo plates, which are offered here in one big lot, many of them matchable to the final plates in the book but others not, therefore providing additional information beyond what made it to print, as well as photos of Dr. Pradeau’s various awards and other things. An original edition of the book itself should cost in the hundreds anyway, this one in Fine condition (brown cloth covers). We trust that the most fervent Mexican numismatic researcher will see this lot for the opportunity that it is, both as a reference tool and as a unique bit of modern numismatic history. Estimate: $500-$1,000.

2692. Lot of certificates, receipts, letters and photo slides from

A veritable trove of paperwork from an excited traveler’s visit to the Real Eight Museum in 1975, showing receipts for his coin and artifact purchases along with 14 original certificates (3 different kinds, most signed by Harry Cannon), a set of photo slides and some informational flyers, all in excellent condition, a real time capsule from the treasure-diving heydays!

(Mel Fisher’s company), which the investor noted in pencil in the margin cost him $12,500, a highly desirable document for Atocha collectors. Estimate: $200-$300.

2695. “Sunken Treasure” board game by Parker Brothers (USA). 8" x 16". Used but complete, a 1948 game that was inspired by hardhat diving in

Sculpture 2703. Hand-crafted mummified head of Blackbeard (with stand) by internationally known artist Barry Anderson. 1430 grams, 13" tall. On November 22, 1718, the infamous pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach) was captured and beheaded by the Royal Navy off Ocracoke Inlet, NC, and his head was famously hung on a ship’s bowsprit and displayed thus for several months as the Navy vessel journeyed across the Atlantic and back. Then, in February of 1719, Blackbeard’s head was stuck on a pole and left as a warning during the hanging of convicted pirates in Hampton, VA. Despite rumors of its existence in various forms since then (like a silver plated fraternity icon or punch bowl), in fact no one knows whatever happened to it. This, of course, is not the long-lost head of Blackbeard, but it is a carefully researched and studiously rendered actual-size sculpture of what it might look like. As noted in the pedigree, the sculptor who created this special piece for us is highly skilled in forensic reconstruction and has access to proprietary materials (like actual human hair, for example) that make this ghastly display really come to life (so to speak). The real Blackbeard’s head, if it still exists (doubtful in almost all professional opinions), would be a priceless treasure; but we assert that this unique and faithfully done work of art is truly the “next best thing” for the pirate enthusiast.

About the artist: Barry Anderson has spent the past 27 years working as an artist in Florida. He is accomplished as a commercial and fine artist as well as a special effects makeup artist for film and television. Since 1994 Barry has created museum figures for Ripley’s Entertainment (where he is the Director of the Arts Department), which has enabled him to study genuine mummies, shrunken heads, trophy skulls and other unusual antiquities. Recently he traveled to Leymebamba, Peru, with mummy expert (and star of National Geographic’s “Mummy Road Show”) Ger r y Conlogue, studying Incan and pre Incan Mummies with a group scientists from around the world. Barry’s expertise in re-creating human remains and mummies has also brought him together with medical examiners, anthropologists and scientists in several documentaries and television programs as well as with police agencies for C.S.I. training and with military contractors for combat medic training. Barry’s numerous film and television credits include: National Geographic’s “Mummy Road Show”; Discovery Channel’s “Super Sleuths”; P.B.S.’s “Secrets of the Dead - Gangland Graveyard”; and feature films “Hair Spray,” “Jeepers Ceepers,” and George Romero’s “Day of the Dead.” Estimate: $500-$750.

SPECIAL FINAL LOT (BOOK) 2789. García-Barneche, Agustín “Augi.” The “Tumbaga” Saga: Treasure of the Conquistadors (2010), special hardbound color version, limited edition #1/50, to be personally inscribed to the winning bidder. HC, New, 152 pp. Before there were coins in the New World, before there were Spanish Treasure Fleets, and even before there were any kind of European colonies in Mexico, the conquistador Hernán Cortés and his men, through the Tarascan Conquest by Cristóbal de Olid in 1522, discovered a new precious-metal mix that led to an improvised manufacture of so-called “tumbaga” bars: a group of over 200 silver and gold ingots discovered in the remains of an unidentified ca.-1528 shipwreck off Grand Bahama Island in 1993. These rare silver “tumbaga” bars found in 1993 are now a step closer to full understanding. Through a study of contemporary accounts, archeological research and historical sources, it is theorized that these strange ingots were manufactured by the Spanish using a unique copper-silver “alloy” forged by the Tarascans in Mexico as a source for their ornaments and offerings, a particular type of metal the Spanish called “metal of Michoacán,” seized by the conquistadors in a single episode within the vast story of the conquest of Mexico during the 1520s. This book is divided into three parts: The first part chronicles the earliest documents relating to the treasure accumulated by Hernán Cortés during his conquest of the Aztec empire. The second part concerns the later phase of conquest, specifically Captain Cristóbal de Olid’s campaign in the region of the Tarascan kingdom in western Mexico. The third and final part discusses technical aspects of these bars based on an interpretation of their markings and manufacture. The specimens studied in this book are the only ones known to exist—all of them from the same wreck—and therefore they will always be of the utmost rarity and historical importance. The book contains a data matrix for all 194 bars, including their weights, measurements, markings and descriptions. Also featured are plates of 60 selected bars, maps, native drawings and charts. Additionally there is a list of the names and roles of over 100 people from the “tumbaga” period, and an appendix with new translations from seven decrees of Charles V pertaining to the circulation of gold and silver in the Americas and key chapters of Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s Historia Verdadera De La Conquista De La Nueva España. Estimate: $80-$120.
