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 “Auctioneer,” or “we,” “us” or “our”) 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. In order to bid, every bidder must first register to bid online, which may be done via Auctioneer staff either verbally or in writing, as through submission of a Bid Sheet by fax or email. By submitting a bid, the bidder acknowledges having read and understood these Terms as well as the lot description, and the bidder agrees to be bound by these Terms. Bidder further agrees that an invoice

2)

describing the lot by number incorporates these Terms and the lot description.

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.

3)

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 (also note shipping calculations will delay invoicing). 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 2% per month.

4)

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.

5)

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%).

6)

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, limited to $5,000 per auction per buyer, 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.

7)

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 bidder with an overdue balance with Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC must complete payment of that balance before his bids will be accepted.

8)

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

2

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).

9)

Most lots are unreserved, but some lots do have a secret reserve or minimum bid assigned by the consignor. Any reserve will

10)

generally be below or within the stated estimate range. All estimates are given in U.S. dollars.

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, except where specifically indicated in the description. Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC does NOT guarantee that any lots can be successfully encapsulated (coins) or safely operated or used (artifacts), even if explicitly or implicitly stated in the descriptions. Auctions are NOT approval sales, and therefore returns are NOT accepted UNLESS there is 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 coin authenticity shall be resolved by submission to PCGS or NGC, 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 delivered within Florida, sales tax (6% to 7.5%, depending on your county) will be added to all non-exempt purchases of items that are NOT coins or bullion. Non-exempt coins and bullion are also taxed if the total coin and/or bullion purchase is less than $500. Exempt purchases require a copy of the buyer’s current exemption certificate or overseas exportation

14)

affidavit.

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. All oral and written statements made by the Auctioneer and its employees are statements of opinion only, and are not warranties or representations of any kind, unless specifically stated in writing to be a warranty.

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.

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.

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).

TREASURE AND WORLD COIN AUCTION #11 Live on the Internet, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 10-11, 2012 We just keep the treasures coming!

This catalog starts with a large selection of gold cobs, mostly from the 1715 Fleet, including several Mexico and Lima 8 escudos and many “bogey 2’s” (Bogota, Colombia, 2 escudos), some pedigreed to the 2003 “Tampa sale” and the Bob “Frogfoot” Weller collection. Of special importance and beauty is a “Royal dies” Mexico 8E 1714, the first ever offered at auction (or anywhere else, for that matter). Following the cobs, the general World Gold Coins section features an extensive selection of US gold coins, some from the “Fort Capron treasure” off Ft. Pierce (1857), as well as several coins from the “southern branch mints” of Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans. Note in particular the Dahlonega $3 1854-D! The treasures continue with a selection of gold ingots from the Atocha and Santa Margarita (1622), featuring a complete gold bar (over 1 kg) marked with SARGOSA / PECARTA (foundry/assayer), and a unique gold bar marked GUSMAN / PAMPLONA, the first ever offered for sale to our knowledge. Other shipwreck gold treasures in the artifacts sections later in the sale include several 1715-Fleet relics, like a long gold “olive blossom / dragon whistle” chain plus another gold chain and an emerald ring. The final lot of the sale is also gold and very special: an Atocha “Golden Crew” men’s gold ring made for Treasure Salvors in 1985 and presented to a crew member to memorialize the finding of the “Mother Lode” in that year.

The silver treasures in this auction are impressive as well, including a large and well-marked Atocha bar and a clump of over 100 Mexico cob 1 and ½ reales from the 1715 Fleet. There are literally hundreds of shipwreck coins here, from Atocha group-lots to single coins from over 50 different wrecks! Some very important artifacts, both shipwreck and non-wreck, are on offer as well, like a large bronze cannon from the Spanish Armada of 1588 and a couple of big iron “Armada” chests, one showing a unique “Adam and Eve” scene underneath the lid.

This auction is just as important for non-shipwreck coins, especially cobs and South American rarities. Highlights in cobs include a choice and very rare Santo Domingo ½ real of Charles-Joanna, a few small Royals and a zoomorphic cob in Lima and Potosí, and even an original die for a Potosí 8 reales Royal 1725Y (Louis I). The Latin American coin offerings feature another original die, for a Coquimbo 1 real 1828TH, and an important Colombian 8R with a unique Liberian countermark of 1847.

Last but not least, we are proud to feature in its own session the Jorge Ortiz Murias collection of Colombian colonial milled minors (1760-1822), a near-complete set of dates and denominations up to 2R, most in choice quality (including several “finest knowns”). There has never been an offering like this.

Whatever your pleasure—treasure or world coins—you will find it here. We wish you the best of luck in your bidding.

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. Also be sure to check out our new Virtual Shipwreck and Hoard Map on the web at http://www.sedwickcoins.com/map/map.html.

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

“Golden Fleece wreck,” sunk ca. 1550 in the northern Caribbean

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).

The “Tumbaga” Saga: Treasure of the Conquistadors, by Agustín García-Barneche (2010), gives the story behind these bars, particularly their history and manufacture, with complete data and analysis and photos of many of the ingots. Each bar is also described in detail in Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, by Douglas Armstrong (1993), a professional conservator hired by the salvage company to clean and preserve all the silver “tumbaga” bars.

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.

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.

8

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.

“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

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.

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

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.

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 Potosí, 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

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.

“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.

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.

“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.

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

Concepción , sunk in 1641 off the northeast coast of Hispaniola 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

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

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.

Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

San Miguel el Arcángel (“Jupiter wreck”), sunk in 1659 off Jupiter Inlet, east coast of Florida 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.

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 (“Portobelo wreck”), sunk in 1681 off Portobelo, 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 1681 Fleet finally left Cartagena bound for Portobelo, Panama.

As the Fleet approached Portobelo, 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

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

On board the Merestein were several chests of silver coins for trade in the East Indies and for which immediate salvage plans 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.

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 Portobelo on December 3, still under adverse weather conditions. More casualties arose when the ship Chaperón 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 to the Chaperón they found that its crew had all escaped and only three boatloads of goods could be saved before the ship sank.

After taking care of business in Portobelo, 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 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.

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.

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.

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

Feversham, sunk in 1711 off Nova Scotia, Canada

Merestein, sunk in 1702 off South Africa

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

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.

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.”

able to bribe a passing French fisherman to take them to New York 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 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.

“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.

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

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.

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).

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, 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.

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.

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.

Vliegenthart, sunk in 1735 off Zeeland, the Netherlands

Any questions? Please email us at info@sedwickcoins.com or call (407) 975-3325

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

15

Princess Louisa, sunk in 1743 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa

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.

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.

Geldermalsen (“Nanking Cargo”), sunk in 1752 in the South China Sea The Geldermalsen was a Dutch East India Company ship returning to Amsterdam with a cargo of over 160,000 porcelains and 145 gold ingots (in addition to tea and textiles) when she hit a reef and sank on January 3, 1752. In 1985 the wreck was found by Michael Hatcher, and the salvaged material was sold at auction by Christie’s Amsterdam in 1986 as the famous “Nanking Cargo.”

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

Reijgersdaal, sunk in 1747 off South Africa 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.

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

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

16

Hartwell, sunk in 1787 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa

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.

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.

Dromadaire, sunk in 1762 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa An outbound French East India vessel, the Dromadaire was carrying 154 people and a chest of silver when she went down in bad weather off San Vicente Island. Only 77 people were saved and the chest was lost until salvage by Arqueonautas in 1996, which brought a quantity of French ecus to the collector market.

Nicobar, sunk in 1783 off False Bay, South Africa Piedmont (“Lyme Bay wreck”), sunk in 1795 in Lyme Bay, south of England

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.

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.

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.

Leocadia, sunk in 1800 off Punta Santa Elena, Ecuador This wreck was discovered and salvaged by Marty Meylach in the 1970s, paving the way for future work with the government of Ecuador up until recent times. The typical yield from this wreck has been portrait (bust) 8 reales from Lima, Peru, 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.

Halsewell, sunk in 1786 near St. Albans Head, Dorset, England A British East Indiaman outbound to India, the Halsewell hit bad weather in the English Channel and was blown onto the cliffs on the Dorset coast. She was battered to pieces as minority survivors scrambled into caves and up the cliffs.

Local dive teams have salvaged coins and small artifacts from the Halsewell in recent years, but not in any significant quantities.

Lady Burgess, sunk in 1806 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa An outbound British East Indiaman with a cargo of general merchandise, the Lady Burgess found herself separated from her fleet and hit a reef in the Cape Verde Islands on April 20, 1806. In the ensuing chaos, 52 of the 180 people on board the ship perished.

17

Tek Sing, sunk in 1822 in the South China Sea

Inasmuch as she was not a treasure ship, the Lady Burgess was not salvaged in her own time and was therefore untouched when the salvage company Arqueonautas located her remains in 1999 and recovered a modicum of Spanish silver bust-type 8 reales and British gold guineas that had been among private specie on board the ship.

The huge Chinese junk Tek Sing (“true star”), laden with porcelain, was on her way to Java when she hit a reef and sank, to the demise of all but 198 of the approximately 1800 souls on board. In 1999 the famous salvager Michael Hatcher and his team found the Tek Sing and recovered more than 350,000 pieces of porcelain from the site. The majority of these pieces were sold in a massive auction

by Nagel (Germany) on November 17-25, 2000.

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.

Sabina, sunk in 1842 off South Africa 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.

Admiral Gardner, sunk in 1809 off the southeast coast of England

Santo Andre, sunk in 1856 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa

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.

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.

“Coconut wreck,” sunk ca. 1810 in deep water off Bermuda

“Fort Capron treasure” (Gordy-Ashley gold), sunk in 1857 off Ft. Pierce, Florida

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”. The silver coins were first offered at auction by us in 2008 and 2009.

See article by John Kleeberg in our Auction #9.

Douro, sunk in 1882 off Cape Finisterre, Spain 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.

“Manila Bay Treasure,” dumped in 1942 off the Philippines The Philippine Islands, along with Guam, Cuba and Puerto Rico, became US territories after the Spanish-American War in 1898.

In 1903 the US began to strike coins for the Philippines, including a set of commemorative coins in 1936 featuring US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Philippines Governor General Frank Murphy and Philippines President Manuel Quezon. There was also a “dollar” medal made for the Philippines in 1920 featuring US President Woodrow Wilson.

In World War II the Japanese invaded the Philippines. Fearful of looting, US General MacArthur and the retreating Philippine government dumped millions of dollars of silver coins into Manila Bay in 1942. After the US liberated the Philippines in 1945, Manila Bay became a popular site for salvage and thousands of coins were recovered.

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.

3. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 escudos, 1714J, Royal dies (special ornamentation), extremely rare, from the 1715 Fleet, plate coin in The Practical Book of Cobs. S-M30; KM-57.2 (for type); CT-unlisted. 27.1 grams. For reasons that are still uncertain to us, in 1714 the Mexican mint experimented with the designs of the 8 escudos, creating some rare, one-year varieties (like the so-called “GRAT” coins with date on reverse) that sell for much more than the normal type. Even more interesting, however, is the theory that the mint was experimenting with screw-press machinery, as evidenced by the quality of the 8-escudos Royals dated 1714. These Royals, beautifully broad and fully round coins, were struck from special dies with refined elements and special ornamentation on both sides (quatrefoils above and below the oMJ and VIII and after the words in the legends, and dagger-shaped ornaments in the dimples of the tressure around the cross).

Curiously, two “test strike” specimens are known, call them pseudo-Royals (see Tauler #397a), that are nearly round and rather flat, as if the striking pressure of the screw press was insufficient to spread the flan out to full size and impress the details deeply, as we see on the Royals.

(A similar “pseudo-Royal” is known for the “GRAT” variety.) But then there is our coin, clearly struck from the same Royal dies but also evidently struck by hand (not machine) on a typical “cob” planchet, with truncated legends due to flan thickness and a trace of doubling on the shield side. There is no denying this is a nice cob—fully Mint State, with choice full shield and crown and cross and date, all very evenly struck—but it is not a full-fledged Royal by anyone’s definition. It seems unlikely that something so delicate as Royal dies would be used on rough cob planchets, so perhaps this piece is not so much an early test strike as an error or afterthought. In any case, it is a unique hybrid of high importance. So what is it worth? For comparison, one of the pseudo-Royals reportedly sold in 2010 for $55,000, and the most recentlysold of the approximately nine known Royals sold in 2009 for about $300,000. From the 1715 Fleet, and plate coin in the 2nd (page 80) and 3rd (page 105) editions of The Practical Book of Cobs. Estimate: $15,000-up.

192. USA (Dahlonega mint), $5 coronet (half eagle), 1844D, encapsulated NGC XF 45.

Bold but slightly crude strike (weak spots in hair and arrow-feathers), which is typical for this mint, also typically bagmarked in the fields and with a planchet flaw to left of eagle, but nicely lustrous and desirable as an example of the short-lived issues from the mountains of Georgia. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Parts of obverse weakly struck (curls of hair on neck, some of the stars), but nice reverse, lustrous, slightly red-toned and somewhat frosty, bagmarked as usual, at least XF-40 by today’s standards. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

189. USA (Philadelphia mint), $20 coronet (double eagle), 1856, encapsulated ICG MS60 Details / Sea Salvaged, from the “Fort Capron treasure” (1857). KM-74.1.

194. USA (Dahlonega mint), $5 coronet (half eagle), 1850D, weak D, encapsulated PCGS XF45. KM-69. Beautifully redtoned (not uncommon for this scarce mint) and with no more wear or weakness or bagmarks than expected for this grade, the allimportant mintmark typically very faint (a problem with this particular date), scarce date overall. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

196. USA (Dahlonega mint), $3 Indian Princess, 1854-D, encapsulated PCGS XF45 (old green tag), extremely rare.

KM-84. One

of the icons of US gold coins is the Dahlonega $3, a one-date issue of a short-lived mint, struck in very low quantity (1120 pieces, of which only maybe 10% still exist), in fact all in one day: July 26. While the Dahlonega and Charlotte mints operated in parallel for their entire short histories, only Dahlonega minted a $3 piece. Put it all together and it is easy to see why Dahlonega collectors and collectors of US gold by type all fight heavily for this issue! Our specimen is also one of the better-struck examples out there, with nearly full hair and headdress detail, much of the rim-denticles, and bold U in UNITED, not to mention the lack of any defects like laminations or rough spots, although the diagnostic clash-mark in front of the throat and doubling of TED in UNITED are prominent. Overall this coin could pass for a mid- to high-end AU, but when this coin was slabbed the grading standards were tighter and reflected more “net grading” based on cleaning, etc. This coin has very good eye-appeal, very lustrous and bold, and its rarity and importance are legendary.

It is little wonder that Douglas Winter, author and renowned expert in branch-mint gold, had this to say in his book Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint 1838-1861 (second edition): “If I had the financial resources (and patience) I would attempt to warehouse a number of nice quality 1854-D Three Dollar gold pieces and wait for the market to come to me.” Pedigreed to the Stack’s-Bowers auction of November 2011. Estimate: $20,000-$30,000.

197. USA (New Orleans mint), $3 Indian Princess, 1854-O, Winter Variety 1. KM-84. 5.0 grams. Like the 1854D, the New Orleans $3 is a one-year issue, but it was made in much larger quantity (24,000 pieces) and is far less valuable, though still popular as a type-coin. As noted by expert Douglas Winter, a die-clashing and subsequent re-lapping of the dies made for two distinct varieties, of which the first (like this one) is far rarer, with clear designer’s initials on the Indian princess’ truncation and bold lettering and mintmark. The center of the reverse is still typically weak, but the detail on the princess on the obverse is all bold. The grade appears to be XF or better, but the surfaces have been lightly polished. Estimate: $1,250$2,000.

198. USA (New Orleans mint), $2.5 coronet (quarter 199. USA (Charlotte mint), $1 coronet (gold dollar), 1849eagle), 1850-O, encapsulated NGC AU 55. KM-72. Bold obverse strike with two of the stars ill-defined, weaker eagle with some flatter high points, all of which is typical (Douglas Winter: “I have never seen a fully struck example”), but nicely lustrous and with a faint hint of toning on the obverse. Estimate: $900-$1,350.

C, closed wreath, encapsulated NGC AU 58. KM-73. Choice and highly lustrous but with weak strike at the ear as usual (due to convexity), the reverse much better (perfect, in fact), a lovely little coin that is probably among the top 50 known, from a generally rare and difficult series. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

44

200. USA (Dahlonega mint), $1 coronet (gold dollar), 1853-D, encapsulated NGC AU 50. KM-73. Lightly toned all over and with weak hair (as made), which is typical, rare and short-lived series and quite popular. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

201. USA (Philadelphia mint), $1 Indian Princess (Type 2 202. USA, $1 Lewis and Clark (gold dollar), 1905. KM-121.

KM-83. 1.7 grams. Decent XF with no big problems, some luster. Estimate: $350-$500.

complete bar with bold markings, the fineness (in 5 places) particularly prominent but also with no fewer than 10 partial tax stamps and a very clear cartouche with SARGOSA above PECARTA, in reference to the gold mine at Zaragoza, Colombia, and an assayer (or similar official) whose exact name has not been determined (the letters of which were monogrammed together to make “PECARTA”).

Zaragoza, on the shores of the Río Nechí in the province of Antioquia, was home to one of the most prolific gold mines in the early 1600s, producing some 20 million pesos of gold from 1590 to 1645, and was represented by a caja real (royal treasury office) since 1582. One end of the bar shows both a chiseling and a scooping where the assayer removed pieces for testing. Overall the bar is remarkably straight and even, very attractive and impressive, a real trophy for any collection. From the Atocha (1622), with Fisher photocertificate #85A-GB045, listed in Fisher online database by its tag # 1567-1.

Estimate: $80,000-$120,000.

cut) end-piece of a wide, flat bar, with bold fineness stamp and full cartouche showing monograms for the name Guzmán above location Pamplona, a well-known gold-producing area in Norte de Santander, Colombia, whose caja real (royal treasury office) was founded in 1617, not long before this bar was lost. That might explain the rarity of this marking (missing in the book Spanish Treasure Bars, by Craig and Richards [2003]) among the gold bars of the 1622 Fleet, in contrast with the relatively abundant “SARGOSA” and “EN RADA” specimens. The other half of the cartouche, GVSMAN, clearly refers to someone named Guzmán, a very common surname, who was probably the assayer (or similar official) in Pamplona. The consignor, however, intriguingly attributes this mark to Don Diego de Guzmán (as owner), who was a magistrate in Cuzco, Peru, and perished as a passenger on the Atocha. What is also neat about this bar is the presence of encrustation, as small streaks of black on top and white patches in the bubbly pits on the bottom, the surfaces also fraught with stressfractures and light scratches, with small cylindrical “bite” in one corner.

A highly desirable bar for its rarity and compactness. From the Atocha (1622), with Fisher photo-certificate #GB-48, and letters from the consignor describing his attribution to Diego de Guzmán. Estimate: $20,000-up.

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

207. Flat gold disk (contraband), 578 grams, 12K-15K (estimated), from the Santa Margarita (1622). Approx. 3-1/2" in diameter and 3/ 8" thick. A tidy, heavy disk of pale gold with streaks

of red, its top surface devoid of markings but with ribbons of metal-flow, and its bottom smoother except for two prominent gas-bubbles and a modern circular stamp that says TREASURE SALVORS / 1980 around an Old English letter M monogrammed with an F in its center (for Mel Fisher), the first such stamping we have ever seen, in addition to the bar number (39). From the Santa Margarita (1622), with Fisher photo-certificate #39-M-80 in elegant frame.

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

208. Silver “tumbaga” bar #M-70, 10.39 lb (av.), marked with fineness iUiiiioL (1450/2400 = 60.4%), S, YoBI3, iNo/ DeBCA (rare), and two tax stamps, plated in The “Tumbaga” Saga, from the “Tumbaga wreck” (ca. 1528). 11-1/2" x 41/2" x 3/4". Of the approximately 200 “tumbaga” silver bars found, less than a dozen have this iNo/DeBCA sigla (possibly a monogram for

Juan de Becerra, an encomendero who arrived in Mexico in 1526), which appears twice on this specimen (each occurrence showing complementary parts of the whole monogram). The S to the immediate left of the fineness is curiously linked to the gold bars from the same find. To the right of that appears YoBI3, which occurs on only 9 bars and most likely represents the name Juan Ibañes, a blacksmith who worked for Cortés in the mid-1520s (see page 63 of “Tumbaga” Saga for explanation). Only 7 bars have all three of the mysterious marks YoB13, S and iNo/DeBCA, making this a premium piece of significant value in unraveling the mysteries behind these bars. It is also one of the more tidy and attractive bars, with natural flow-lines on top and pebbly texture on bottom (no bad corrosion), nicely toned, with bias-cut assayer’s “bite” in one corner, and of desirably medium size. From the “Tumbaga wreck” (ca. 1528), accompanied by the book Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, by Douglas R. Armstrong (1993, original spiral-bound edition) and the book The “Tumbaga” Saga,

by Agustin Garcia-Barneche (2010, autographed, with a photo of this bar on page 100), and pedigreed to the Bowers & Merena “Treasures of the World” auction of June, 2002. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

“Golden Fleece wreck,” sunk ca. 1550 in the Northern Caribbean 209. Small, flat, oval silver “splash” ingot, 434 grams, with two crowned-C tax stamps, from the “Golden Fleece wreck” (ca. 1550). Approx. 5-3/4" x 4". A very thin and colorful ingot (lots of copper toning on top) with two distinct tax stamps near either end, several small “drip blobs” and one large one with coral encrustation, typically corroded and harshly cleaned but of the perfect size for a display with Charles-Joanna coins from this wreck. From the “Golden Fleece wreck” (ca. 1550), and pedigreed to our Auction #8. Estimate: $600-$900.

Unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 210. Lot of 3 silver coin-like “plata corriente” pieces cut from “splash” ingots (no markings, fineness unknown but probably over 90%), 85.4 grams total, from an unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo. 42.4, 15.2 and 17.8 grams, 1-1/2", 1" and 1" respectively. It is well documented that in the mid-1500s colonial commerce lacked sufficient circulating coinage, despite the efforts of the Mexican mint (which began in 1536), and relied instead on small pieces of silver cut from ingots that were probably intentionally cast in thin (easily breakable) “splashes” for that reason. This lot represents a set of three examples of this makeshift currency, which was eventually eradicated due to the fact that so many pieces (like these) did not show any markings to prove that the proper tax had been paid! From an unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Estimate: $250-$375.

“Power Plant wreck” (late 1500s) off Hutchinson Island, Florida 211. Small silver ingot, 32.2 grams, with crowned crosslions-castles tax stamp (Mexico or Santo Domingo), very rare, from the “Power Plant wreck” (late 1500s). Approx. 13/4" x 1". As described in the book Spanish Treasure Bars, by Craig and

Richards (2003), for at least 60 years beachcombers on the east coast of Florida in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant have found Mexican Philip II coins and tiny ingots of varying weights like this one, with markings of crowned cross-lions-castles with globes at the ends, a distinctly Mexican style that was mimicked on the extremely rare Santo Domingo coins of the late 1500s. Because all these mysterious ingots are small (up to 70 grams or so), we feel they must have been a form of “plata corriente” like we know of for the mid-1500s, especially with their official markings to show taxation. This specimen of average size bears a nearly full stamp on its smooth side (the other side rough and corroded), nicely toned and evidently quite rare, as it is the first we have ever offered. From the “Power Plant wreck” (late 1500s) off Hutchinson Island, Florida. Estimate: $500-up.

Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida

212. Large Potosí silver ingot, 90 lb 7.36 oz troy, Class Factor 0.9 (should be 1.0), dated 1622, from the Atocha (1622).

13-1/2" x 5-1/4" x 3-1/2". One of the most impressively marked bars we have seen, with all the markings required for Class Factor 1.0 visible,

including manifest number IUCXXVII (1127) to right of foundry/date Po1622 (mentioned on the certificate), fineness IIUCCCLXXX (2380/2400) followed by faint assayer cartouche (probably MEXIA), 2 or 3 faint tax stamps, 2 small V’s for silvermaster de Vreder, and a veritable wealth of large owner/shipper monograms (known as siglas), including a rather intricate one for “A. de Saldana to M. Santos” at one end that was engraved over an earlier mark (sort of a CA monogram), with second silvermaster mark over top of it as if to say “change OK.” At the other end, the B-shaped sigla was attributed by Craig and Richards (Spanish Treasure Bars, 2003) to B. de Conay, curiously not mentioned on the manifest for this bar. More toward the middle, and in fact superimposed on the foundry/date cartouche, is an E-shaped sigla (name unknown). Also prominent is the usual double-scoop “bite” (assayer’s test) in the middle. The sides are rather rough (as made) and show embedded pieces of charcoal. Apart from some very light surface corrosion, this is without a doubt one of the more interesting bars we have handled, well worth a premium over less well-marked specimens. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher certificate #85A-S761. Estimate: $35,000-$50,000.

Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida

213. Flat silver “strap” ingot, 329.3 grams, for making 8R cob blanks, extremely rare, from the 1715 Fleet. Approx. 7-1/ 2" x 1-1/2". All evidence as to how cobs were made at the Mexican mint in the 1600s and 1700s points to the concept of poured “straps” of prescribed weight that were balanced and subdivided into proper-weight blanks for striking—but we have never handled an example of such an item until now! This piece, which is almost EXACTLY the weight of twelve 8R at the prescribed 27.468 grams, shows naturally semicircular ends and neatly parallel sides, its surfaces dark and rippled from metal-flow. The thickness of this “strap” is 1/4", about twice the thickness of most 8R, so it is assumed that the blanks were somewhat flattened after cutting, which would also account for the wider width of the resultant coins than 1/12 of this piece would seem to indicate. As we see on the coins themselves, the rounded edges from the original ingot contrast sharply with the straight edges where each blank is cut away, with the exception of the single-cut “end of the bar.” The winner of this lot will have not only an important 1715-Fleet artifact but also one of the most significant pieces of cob-minting history ever found!

(Please see our essay “Straps for Cash” in the catalog for our Auction #7, http://www.sedwickcoins.com/strap.htm.) From the 1715 Fleet.

Estimate: $2,500-up.

Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off Porto Santo, Madeira Islands

214. Neatly formed silver ingot, 1957 grams, about 98.5% fine, with stamps of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC (Dutch East India Co.), cast in parallel to bar width, from the Slot ter Hooge (1724). 6-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/4". Typically tidy bar with small but clear markings on one of the wide sides, the narrower sides with lengthwise seams from casting, one of the ends heavily corner-clipped to fine-tune the weight, with only a trace of the usual encrustation-filled pit, no corrosion to speak of, just some dark spots here and there. From the Slot ter Hooge (1724), with certificate from the salvager (StĂŠnuit). Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

215. Neatly formed silver ingot, 1955 grams, about 98.5% fine, with stamps of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC (Dutch East India Co.), cast in diagonal to bar width, from the Slot ter Hooge (1724). 5" x 1-1/2" x 1-3/8". An unusually short and fat example, with the clear markings one of the narrower sides (its diagonal casting seams hidden in the corners), with the rectangular pit at one end filled all the way with a weight-adjusting plug, no corrosion but many areas of black and dark-brown encrustation. From the Slot ter Hooge (1724), with certificate from the salvager (StĂŠnuit). Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

Very well-preserved bar (no corrosion) with boldly attractive markings on one of the wider sides, the pit-end of the bar clipped several times (to adjust the weight) and somewhat encrusted. From the Rooswijk (1739), with original certificate and tag #RK05. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Cartagena 2R

306. Cartagena, Colombia, cob 2 reales, (1622), no assayer (mintmark SF to left), Grade 2+, extremely rare, ex-Las Vegas auction (plate coin). S-C1; KM-A6.1; CT-316. 6.4 grams. Even though all you can see on this coin is the shield and cross (which are both choice, bold, full and well centered), that is enough to confirm this coin was made from the same obverse die as the famous Cartagena 2 escudos of 1622, the first gold coin struck in the Americas. In fact all known examples of this 2 reales (12 pieces only, all struck from the same dies) come from the Atocha. While this specimen does not have the date or mintmark visible, it is very solid, with only minor surface corrosion, and has the added bonus of a pedigree to one of the very first auctions of Atocha material in 1987. No certificate or tag, but pedigreed to the Butterfield (Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas) auction of September 26, 1987, in which it sold for $15,000 + buyer’s fee on an estimate of $18,000-$22,000 (and plated in the catalog). Estimate: $1,500-up.

1652 transitionals

357. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E, transitional Type VIII/B variant with unique motto as PLV-SVLT-RA, 1PH-6 at top, plate coin in Janson. Janson-18.8.4; S-P37; KM-A20.8;

358. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 4 reales, 1652E transitional Type III (post-transitional), 1-PH-6 at top, very rare and choice.

Bold and well-detailed pillars-and-waves with fat pillars, full cross-lions-castles, 2 dates and assayers, 3 mintmarks, no corrosion but some peripheral flatness, nicely toned, edge-split. Curiously, when Torrey McLean first enumerated the transitional Types in 1994, specimens of this Type were unknown and called “hypothetical” by him. The Capitana wreck brought at least 4 specimens to light, but it should still be considered very rare. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Janson-19.2.3.; S-P37a; KM-18; CT-735. 13.3 grams.

This unique discovery coin apparently went unnoticed in 1999 when it was sold in Ponterio, but now it appears as #18.8.4 in the Janson reference (an exceptionally complete study for transitionals), which demonstrates that while the rest of the coin conforms to the common post-transitional style of cross and pillarsand-waves, the motto on this coin is split unlike any other, with SVLT in the middle section. There is some surface corrosion, but the strike is bold, making for good full pillars-and-waves and full cross, 2 dates and assayers and mintmarks, lightly toned. An essential coin for the advanced 1652 transitional researcher, or for the Potosí 8R collector who has everything else! With original certificate from the salvagers, and pedigreed to the Ponterio sale of April, 1999 (lot #318) and plate coin in Janson’s La Moneda Circulante en el Territorio Argentino (2010).

Estimate: $500-up.

Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway

499. Original promotional set in leather case consisting of two Dutch (Utrecht) gold ducats 1724, three Mexican cobs (two 8R and one 4R), two Dutch ducatoons (one portrait and one “rider”) and six Dutch 2 stuivers (Holland) 1724. 121/4" x 8-3/4" overall. This item is an original promotional case printed with “A Part of the Akerendam Treasure” on the top as from a Norwegian promotion in the 1970s designed to move along lower-end material, something we have seen many times over the years; but what is remarkable about this set is that it still has BOTH of the gold ducats (the most valuable coins in the set) present, whereas most sets have at least one of the ducats removed. Also, both ducats are frosty Mint State (one slightly bent), the cobs (one encrusted) and Dutch coins no worse than usual (albeit with one of the small 2 stuivers broken in half). Also unusually present here is the original brochure in Norwegian, which shows a picture of a set with exactly the coins seen here, including two ducats and a space between them. A slight musty smell adds to the nostalgia. In original promotional case from the 1970s, with certificates and brochures in Norwegian. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

738. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (164)5T, rare with full final digit of date. S-P30; KM-19a; CT-492. 27.1 grams. Despite being the commonest date of 8R in the 1640s prior to 1649, for some reason the 1645 invariably comes with the last digit almost entirely off the flan.

806. Original die for pillars side of a Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal, 1725Y, (Louis I), unique and highly important.

S-P43b; KM-R35; CT-20. 1226 grams, approx. 2-1/4" square x 2-1/2" tall. Never

before have we offered a cob die, let alone one for a Louis I Royal!

According to our research of extant coins, 3 different pillars sides (different dies) are known of the 8R 1725 Royal, none of which matches the die in this lot, although the punches on this die are clearly genuine and show the trefoil ornaments in the legend that were only used for Royals. While this die does appear a bit “shallow” in terms of depth of detail (also with some surface corrosion), undoubtedly this is the normal result of a life of striking coins. Virtually no other dies of this period exist outside museums for comparison (the only one ever available for sale to our knowledge being the 2R Royal 1737M specimen in Karon), but the shape and structure of this piece are commensurate with a series of early-1800s portrait dies that entered the numismatic market over the past several years. The rest of the die appears very old and well used too, with the hammer end somewhat blunted from use and the tapering sides (squarish-octagonal in cross-section) well patinated. A thoroughly exciting piece of numismatic history, one of a kind, and of critical importance to the serious collector. Estimate: $5,000-up.

809. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1733YA, ex-“Americas” collection, rare. S-P45; KM-31a; CT-830. 26.6 grams. Typically chunky (and with ragged edges) but with good full pillars (slightly doubled) with bold date and mintmark and assayer, nearly full but off-center cross, toned VF+, desirable pedigree that is not often seen because so much of it went unheralded into later collections. Also note the YA assayer is rare and probably worked only at the end of 1732 and beginning of 1733. Pedigreed to the “Americas” collection (Kagin’s, 1983), lot 1264. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

811. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1743C. S-P49; KM-31a; CT-843.

812. Potosí, Bolivia, complete denomination set of 8-4-21-1/2 reales of 1745q, all but the 1R ex-Sellschopp. S-P50.

52.4 grams total. Typically old-toned F-VF with generally good crosses

and pillars, the 8R and 4R particularly bold, the 1R also bold but holed at edge and apparently used to replace the original coin in the set, good pedigree. The 8, 4, 2 and 1/2R pedigreed to the Sellschopp collection (lot 893 in SBC 9/88). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

813. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1751q. S-P52; KM-40; CT-363. 814. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1755q. S-P54; KM-40; CT-372.

Deeply oldtoned specimens, commensurate with the supposed Sellschopp pedigree (but no photos in SBC catalog to confirm), the higher denominations typically chunky and bold and technically VF or better, but the 1R actually an odd-man-out because its date is actually 1702 (much flatter flan), which either Sellschopp or the previous cataloger misread. Possibly ex-Sellschopp (SBC 9/88 lot 930). Estimate: $1,000$1,500.

818. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1767V-(Y).

S-P57; KM-45;

Miscellaneous New World issues

885. Seville, Spain (special issue struck for the Americas), 1 real, Ferdinand-Isabel, ••• flanking shield, mintmark S on reverse, very rare. CT-389. 3.1 grams. Before coins were made in the New World, Ferdinand and Isabel attempted several importations of coins from Spain, starting with this special issue with a crowned F inserted between the yoke and arrows on reverse.

170

886. Spain (mint uncertain), 1 real, Ferdinand-Isabel, with C countermark for Panama (?), very rare. 3.0 grams. In the very early 1500s, before coins were struck in the Americas, the special “crowned-F” issues for importation to the New World were followed at some point by a recently discovered series of countermarks using the letters C and P, both believed to stand for Panama (the C referring to Castilla del Oro, the original name for that area), which is where all known specimens have been found except for some from a shipwreck off Cuba. This C specimen is very bold and deep, resulting in a prominent protrusion on the other side, the host with full arrows and good crowned shield and much legend despite light corrosion, small piece of edge missing, toned AVF overall. Estimate: $250-up.

887. Spain (mint uncertain), 1 real, Ferdinand-Isabel, clipped down to 1/2R size and countermarked with rampant lion in crenellated border (unattributed but probably Caribbean), very rare. 1.6 grams. This currently unattributed countermark has been seen one other time, on a Mexican Charles-Joanna “Late Series” 1R that was similarly cut down to 1/2R weight (see lot 749 in our Auction #7), indicating that the issue probably dates to the late 1500s, at a time when Caribbean silver coins were virtually non-existent. Like the other example, this coin is well worn (VG, but with VF countermark) and richly old-toned all over, perfectly round from the trim-down, bold arrows and most of shield. Estimate: $350-$500.

978. Original steel die for Coquimbo, Chile, 1 real, (1828TH), unique and extremely important. 1232 grams, 3" tall and nearly 2" to a side. One of Latin America’s great numismatic icons is the Coquimbo peso of 1828, which contemporary documentation has confirmed was struck in three different series, of which only a few specimens of the later two are known to exist, valued in the tens of thousands of dollars today. Much less known is the fact that minor denominations were also issued by the Coquimbo mint. According to documents, on November 18, 1828, the Coquimbo mint’s director Gregorio Cordovez remitted to the Santiago mint for examination a sample consisting of 20 pesos, 20 half pesos (4 reales) and 32 half reales. Of this batch, 10 coins of each denomination were subjected to a thorough analysis of their fineness, weight, and quality of engraving and strike; all 30 coins failed the testing.

But further documentary evidence from late 1829, when the mint was abandoned due to the Revolutionary movement headed by former President Ramón Freire, shows that the Coquimbo mint’s engraver and provisional assayer Theodoro Hagen had managed to produce dies for all five silver denominations, including the 1 real and 2 reales. In fact, inventories made in 1830 and 1841 specifically list “107 finished dies for pesos, fours, twos, reales, and halves, engraved and polished.” (See Carlos Jara’s book Chile’s Coquimbo Mint: a documented history [2003] for transcriptions of these documents.)

The only other Coquimbo coins known at present besides the two varieties of the peso are a few specimens of the 1/2 real, all from the same pair of dies. While somewhat corroded and rusty, this obverse die for the 1 real (authenticated by Jara), with most of the volcano design and all-important COQUIMBO mintmark below, is of the utmost historical importance as the ONLY KNOWN surviving die from this famous mint. Like the Potosí 8R Royal 1725 die offered in this same sale (lot 806), this piece is squarish-octagonal in cross-section and necessarily heavy. Estimate: $2,500-up.

1925-26 in about a tenth of the quantity of the original (round-top 3) 1883 pesos and most specimens were melted down in 1927, making it a rare and interesting issue. Lustrous AU, no toning. Estimate: $600-$900.

981. Santiago, Chile, 5 pesos, 1927, wide 5, encapsulated NGC MS 63. KM-173.2. Highly lustrous and starting to tone, minor bagmarks only. Estimate: $150-$225.

KM-34; Restrepo36.1; CT-1623. 3.4 grams. We begin the landmark offering of the Jorge Ortiz Murias collection with a single “pillar” piece, one of only 5 different Colombian pillar issues confirmed to exist (8R 1759, 1762 and 1770; and 1R and 1/2R 1760), and one of only about 12 known of this denomination, almost all holed and/or plugged (which is certainly less desirable than graffiti), whose public appearances are listed here in chronological order: Freeman Craig, December 1978 and May 1987; Ponterio, February 1993, June 1984 and March 1991 (Amat collection); Bonhams (Patterson collection), July 1996; Tarkis (Madrid), 2001; Cayón, November 2004; Herrero, May 2005; Boletín #62 of the Fundación Numismáticos de Colombia (Bogotá); the Calicó plate coin (Numismática española, 2008); and the plate coin in Restrepo’s Monedas de Colombia (2009). The present specimen is a solid XF, very lightly toned and well struck, whose only flaw is a pair of letters, P and H, either punched or engraved into the fields to the sides of the crown above the shield, wistfully described in the auction catalog for the Emilio Ortiz collection as “incused letters ‘PH’ neatly placed beside the crown much like King Philip V might have preferred when he first authorized the pillar series in 1729.” Pedigreed to the Emilio Ortiz collection (Swiss Bank Corp., January 1991, lot 252), and plate coin in Restrepo’s Monedas Coloniales Circulares (1999).

Estimate: $600-$900.

Bold XF with light toning around details, slightly grainy reverse (as made), no problems, a very nice specimen of a key rarity, quite worthy of its Restrepo-reference pedigree (pictured 3 times normal size on page 170 of his book).

Attractively toned AXF (outstanding condition for this rarity), well struck and problemfree.

AVF with weak bust, hint of luster, very light toning, clear overdate (featured in high magnification in Restrepo) and mintmark MR. Despite Restrepo’s valuing of this coin in 4 grades, neither the consignor nor the cataloger has ever heard of another specimen. In an article for Numis-Notas the consignor asserts that the MR mintmark was intentional, not an error, based on the fact that M was not among the standard letter-punches made for these coins. The reason for altering the mintmark, however, remains a mystery. Plate coin in Restrepo’s Monedas de Colombia (2009). Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

style overall, the consignor feels is indicative of striking at a much later date), AU- with greengold toning all over. Estimate: $400-$600.

Colombia (Republic of Colombia) 1094. Bogotá, Colombia, 8 reales, 1835/4RS, with Liberian countermark or test-strike dated 1847 on reverse, exFonrobert and Restrepo plate coin.

Restrepo-158.2s; KM-89. 26.9 grams. This unique piece combines the vibrant realm of Colombian numismatics with an important piece of African history in the founding of the Republic of Liberia in 1847 by freed slaves from America.

The countermark on this coin is identical to an obverse pattern for the Liberian 10 cents (KM #Pn3), and in fact we suspect it was more like a test strike than a mark to use this coin locally, as no other specimens exist to our knowledge. The host coin and countermark are both choice XF, with deep, rich toning all over (just a few old scratches next to the countermark) and hints of original luster, the depth of the countermark translating into a flat, featureless protrusion on the other side, on which the host date shows a clear 5/4. Best of all, this very same coin was lot #6045 (called a Dollar) in the epic sale of the Jules Fonrobert collection on January 14, 1879, the catalog for which shows a matching drawing (hence a rare instance where a coin can be positively matched to a pre-photography drawing), in which the sale price is recorded as 32.50 marks versus the normal 2 to 5 marks for the other coins listed. Whether your interest is Colombia or Liberia, historical plate coins or slave-related history, this coin has it all. Pedigreed to the Jules Fonrobert collection, then from an Italian family via Argentina to Louis Hudson, in whose Sale #56 (October 1992) it was offered as lot #225, and plate coin on page 163 of Restrepo’s Monedas de Colombia (2009). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Unattributed (Insurgent)

1311. Mexico, oval “YRNO”(?) countermark on a Potosí, Bolivia, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1823PJ. Similar to Elizondo (MX-179). 26.8 grams. This coin is a mystery. The host is clearly genuine, VF with bold details all over, toned in legends, with minor laminations

and rim-flaws, but the date possibly (and significantly) tooled, which is really the only way to explain why this coin has a countermark from the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821). With only slight stylistic differences, the well-designed monogram in the well-executed countermark (bold, toned XF) is essentially the same as the one pictured in Elizondo, which he simply calls “Very Rare” without prices or attribution (and we have never seen any for sale to compare). Paleographic research makes us believe it is possibly a monogram for Ignacio López Rayón, the leader of the insurgent government after Hidalgo. If the host-coin date turns out to be accurate, then perhaps this countermark is simply a post-war memorial for López. Either way, this is clearly an important coin and worthy of further study by Mexican numismatists. Estimate: $500-up.

Zacatecas (Royalist) 1312. Zacatecas, Mexico, 2 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1811, flowers-and-castles variety. CT-1062; KM-186. 6.5 grams.

Spain

1356. Modern struck-silver copy of a Spanish (Castile and León) gold dobla de 10 doblas of Pedro I (“the Cruel”), dated 1398 in Roman numerals. See Cayón-1271. 17.9 grams. Perhaps the greatest numismatic trophy of medieval Spain was the gold dobla de 10 doblas of Pedro I, struck in 1360 AD (1398 by the local calendar at the time) on a thin but immense 2-1/2" flan from gold confiscated from a wealthy Jewish gentleman executed for alleged witchcraft and thievery. The fame of this coin spawned several different copyings over the centuries, in several different metals, this one probably done in the late 1800s at a Spanish art school.

Bold countermark (VF) on an About Fine host with generally good details (weak near rims), with bulge on reverse opposite the countermark, a small but well-crafted and serifed T that most resembles the large T on the “black dogg” coins of Tortola. Estimate: $70-$100.

A strange little piece with arms (lions/castles) covering the entire reverse and the obverse punched with MORALES Ho in a box above an incuse 1/2, all but the denomination matching a 20-centavos piece recently sold in Spain for 3000 Euros that shows DE MAYARI below the arms (beyond the flan-edge on this one), with traces of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA visible, toned AVF overall, with tiny hole at edge, possibly unique. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

258

A struck and somewhat coin-like medal (nicely toned) showing mountains with REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR above and AL MERITO below, slightly convex, encased in a wreath of green leaves and red rays in enameled brass, suspended from a ribbon, all in excellent condition.

Estimate: $250-$375.

Guatemala 1394. Guatemala, silver 2R-sized “trial by jury” medal, 1837. 6.7 grams. Legends read “Juicio por Jurados / El Pueblo Juez” (trial by jury / the people judge), thematic of legal reforms in 1837 after an indigenous revolt. Lustrous AXF with light rainbow-toning around rims, hairline edge-crack and other minor flaws. Estimate: $100-$150.

Jamaica 1395. Jamaica, silver-plated brass International Exhibition medal, 1891, Queen Victoria. 32.1 grams.

259

Mexico 1396. Mexico, brass mint-trial token for Turkish 50 kurus (ca.1980) struck at the Mexico City mint. 4.1 grams. Lustrous Mint State, with reeded edge and simple wording inside indicating that this was struck by the Mexican mint for the Turkish State mint on a sample flan in brass but designed for bullion gold coins, a match with the 100-kurus trial we sold in our Auction #10. Estimate: $100$150.

1397. Mexico City, Mexico, silver medal made from Atocha (1622) silver in custom Lucite holder and clamshell case.

269 grams total. This is basically a Mexican Royal 8R 1621D restrike, as the design is completely accurate, yet it is clearly not intended to deceive and comes housed in a special Lucite holder embossed with “PIECE OF 8” FROM CASA DE MONEDA MEXICO’S OFFICIAL MINT EST. 1535 / GENUINE LOST SILVER TREASURE OF THE ATOCHA TREASURE SHIP SUNK 1622 (the coin resting inside a picture of a treasure chest), officially struck at the Mexico City mint from silver recovered from the ship (melted down from one of the big loaf-shaped bars), undated but probably done in the late 1980s, the medal itself lustrous, frosty and of course Mint State, with deep toning around rims. Estimate: $200-$300.

Panama 1398. Panama, gold (10K) medal, 1913, McClintic Marshall Const Co. (Panama Canal), engraved on back to Arthur D. Jury, rare. 15.1 grams.

Considered one of the “Seven Wonders of the Modern World,” the Panama Canal was built in 1880-1914 to connect the Pacific Ocean with the Caribbean Sea. The principal feature of the Canal is a series of locks, whose immense steel gates are opened and closed to raise and lower the water level between them and thereby allow ships to “climb” from one side to the other. This important gold medal, made by C.G. Braxmar Co. in New York, was issued to recognize the McClintic Marshall Construction Company, the Pittsburgh-based firm that built the lock-gates, which were actually manufactured in the US and towed by barge to Panama, in 1911-13. The engraving on back, to a company official we were unable to further identify, specifies a date of October 27, 1913, and the place as “Panama / C.Z.” As this medal is missing in David Plowman’s catalog of Panama medals (www.coins-of-panama.com), we assume it is quite rare and of supreme importance to “Zonian” collectors. XF+, with hole at top. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Peru 1399. Lot of 2 Peruvian gold “Recuperad El Morro” medals (2 different varieties), 1925, rare. 9.0 grams total. As a consequence of the War of the Pacific (1879-83), Peru lost to Chile the area known as Tarapacá, whose main city Arica is dominated by a land-feature known as El Morro, from whose cliffs the Peruvian Colonel Bolognesi heroically leaped to his death while wrapped in the garrison flag. At the end of the war, under the terms of the Treaty of Ancon, Chile retained control of the former Peruvian territory until a plebiscite could establish the region’s nationality going forward. Patriotism against Chile ran high in 1925, when these medals were made in a variety of metals and designs, each with the Morro cliff featured on obverse along with the name of the engraver A.B. Leguia and the date of July 29, 1925. One of the pieces in this lot, showing just JUNTA PATRIOTICA NACIONAL on reverse, is known in brass and silver, but this gold specimen is the only one we have heard of. The other piece, in solid gold and featuring a portrait of Bolognesi on the reverse with the same wording in the legend instead, is known but considered rare. Both are lustrous XF-AU with minor rim-nicks and scratches. Estimate: $500-$750.

260

Puerto Rico 1400. Puerto Rico (under Spain), oval bronze military medal (with crown at top), Alfonso XII, Voluntarios de Puerto-Rico (1880). 15.4 grams. Bold AXF with nice even color, showing the king’s portrait on the obverse with legend INTEGRIDAD DE LA PATRIA at top and CONSTANCIA at bottom, the reverse with flag-bearing lamb on rock (large variety) below F I with VOLUNTARIOS DE PUERTO-RICO below in legend, topped with crown-shaped hanger that still retains a small piece of red cloth inside.

Estimate: $600-$900.

1401. Bronze medal made by artist Lorenzo Homar (1913-2004) in 1993 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Puerto Rico, one of only 100 made, commissioned by noted collector Efraín Archilla-Diez. 306.6 grams.

Modern, artistic medal in pristine condition, with lion motif in high relief on front (signed by the artist at bottom), flat reverse with incuse wording “5to. Centenario del Descubrimiento de Puerto Rico 1493-1993,” crafted in an antiqued brushed finish. Lorenzo Homar (19132004) is considered by many to be Puerto Rico’s greatest graphic artist. Estimate: $125-$200.

Spain 1402. Madrid, Spain, silver proclamation medal, Ferdinand VII, 1808. Herrera-2. 5.8 grams. Choice XF with elegant old toning, small part of rim crude (as made), with crisp details all over, showing crowned arms on obverse and monogram on reverse.

Estimate: $100-$150.

Queen Elizabeth on obverse and beach scene with open treasure chest on reverse, printed by de la Rue on special, experimental paper (as designated by the X/1 in front of the serial number) and then recalled for analysis and subsequently destroyed, making escapees like this one rare, in fact the rarest of all Cayman notes, this example in Crisp Uncirculated condition. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Cuba 1404. Cuba (under Spain), uncut sheet of 8 lottery tickets, 1839 (Isabel II). 8-1/2" x 12-1/4".

Estimate: $300-$450.

263

Manuscripts

1407. Original 1642 document from Bolivia with unique pillars-and-waves seal at top. 8-1/2" x 12-1/4". Typically flowing but professionally readable handwriting on a single sheet (both sides), signed by “Rodriguez,” but most important aspect is the stamped official seal at the top that shows crowned arms and a ship on waves between pillars, which is featured on page 18 of Spanish Treasure Bars (Craig and Richards, 2003), excellent condition, just a few small tears in margins. Estimate: $200-$300.

1408. Original 1575 document signed

by King Philip II of Spain (“Yo El Rey”), with translation by Dr. Frank Sedwick. 8-1/2" x 11-1/2". Simple, single-sheet document with handwriting on both sides, including “letterhead” El Rey (The King) at top, “Por El Rey (from the King) on back, and clearly signed in lighter ink “Yo El Rey” (I the King), with secretary’s signature Juan Delgado at bottom. Lightly foxed, with traces of red seal and minor folds and pinholes in margin, but fully readable by a professional, as was done by Frank Sedwick, whose translation is printed on an accompanying slip of paper (see online listing). Estimate: $750-$1,100.

1409. Brass die for wax seals on official Spanish documents, Ferdinand VII (1808-33). 1189 grams, 2-3/8" in diameter and 2-1/4" tall. Bright brass in excellent condition, with crowned

arms inside Golden Fleece collar inside legend of Ferdinand VII, probably from early in his reign (pre-Napoleon) because it lacks mention of the Constitution imposed later. Estimate: $1,000-up.

1410. Large steel die for wax seals on official Spanish documents, Isabel II (1833-68). 1990 grams, 3-3/4" in diameter and 2-1/4" tall. Very broad size, with crowned arms surrounded by full

name and titles of Isabel II, well-detailed and even lustrous but clearly aged and with gouge in rim, 7-sided shank that appears to have a more mechanical function (possibly for striking medals) than hand-sealing.

Estimate: $1,500-up.

264

Maps 1411. Small Dutch copper-plate engraving of a map entitled “America” by Jacob Peeters from L’Atlas en abregé… (Antwerp, 1692), hand colored. 8" x 7". Intricately drawn and vividly colored map, rather small, showing all of North and South America except for the extreme northwest (which was unexplored at that time), with major cities tagged within color-coded regions, beautiful cartouche of Europeans meeting natives and their ruler at bottom-left, choice condition, with original vertical fold in center. Estimate: $250$375.

1412. Large German map of Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean entitled “Regni Mexicani Seu Novæ Hispaniæ, Ludovicianæ, N. Angliæ, Carolinæ, Virginiæ et Pensylvaniæ, necnon Insularum Archipelagi Mexicani in America Septentrionali [Carefully Prepared Map of the Mexican Dominion or New Spain, Louisiana, New England, Carolina]”

by Joh. Baptista Homanno (1664-1724), a 1720 engraving published in 1737 by J.H.G. Vieling, hand colored and matted for framing. 29-1/2" x 27" overall. A fairly well-known map of rather large size (22-1/2" x 19") and of high detail, showing the various European possessions in the New World from Canada down to Colombia, with vignette of ships in battle at bottom-left, natives and mountains at right, and cartouche at top-left, light hand-coloring, excellent condition (minimal foxing, original center-crease), very impressive.

Interestingly, while the original colonies that comprised the US are shown, Georgia is lacking because that colony was established in the time between when this map was drawn and when it was published! Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

265

1413. French map of the Caribbean, dated 1754, by Jacques Nicolas Bellin, entitled “Carte du Golphe du Mexique et des Isles de l’Amerique,” from La Harpe’s Abrege de l’Histoire Generale des Voyages, hand colored, showing the routes of the Spanish explorers. 18-1/4" x 13". Lovely map in perfect condition showing the Caribbean Sea and surrounding regions, highly detailed with place names and even with routes of Cortes, de León, et al., with ornate title cartouche at upper right, of significant appeal to collectors of Spanish colonial and pirate treasure materials, notably with the colony of Georgia shown, illustrating the difference in time period between this map and the previous lot.

Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Prints

1414. Color mezzotint print of an English stipple engraving by John Raphael Smith from a painting by George Morland, printed by Rollet (Paris) after 1794, entitled “TRAITE DES NEGRES” (Slave Trade), in original satinwood frame. 23" x 20". This soul-stirring picture of Europeans rounding up African slaves dates to an official anti-slavery period in France from 17941809, as evidenced by the caption below the title: “Quel contrat infame. L’un Marchande Ce qui n’appartient a Personne, L’autre Vend la Propriete De la nature. Ce vil metier a ete aboli par la Convention Nationale le 16 Pluviose l’An deuxieme de la Republique francaise une et indivisible” (roughly translatable as “What an infamous contract. What one bargains for that does not belong to anyone, the other sells that belongs to nature. This vile trade was abolished by the National Convention on the 16th Pluviose of the 2nd year [February 4, 1794] of a united and indivisible French Republic”). The artwork itself is in nice condition, with faint but discernible color, but with brown spots mostly toward top and in margins. The antique wood frame is particularly attractive and accounts for much of this lot’s value. Estimate: $400-$600.

Shipwreck Artifacts Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida

1416. High-grade emerald, 3.12 carats, square-cut in modern times from a large natural crystal found on the

1415. Silver plate, encrusted but intact. 588 grams, 9-1/4" in wreck. Dark and intensely green stone, fairly translucent, among the diameter. A typically bowl-like plate with 1-1/2" rim and 1" deep bowl,

mostly thick with gray oxidation and in fact all white on back but exposed in a few places to show blackened silver, cracked and holed in one place under the rim. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

best stones we have seen in this size from this wreck (just a couple small inclusions/voids), all ready to be mounted in a ring. (Image enlarged to show quality.) With Fisher photo-certificate #131. Estimate: $500-up.

Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador 1417. Bronze cannonball with spot of encrustation, rare.

Over 13 lb, 4-1/2" in diameter. The well-preserved bronze shot from this wreck were an interesting find, as almost all shipwreck cannonballs until that point had been iron, this one fairly typical in size and smoothness (even brown color) but remarkable for retaining a small (2") patch of thick, appended encrustation. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida

1418. Long, gold “olive blossom” (or “dragon whistle”) chain, 56", 83 grams. One of the better-known stories of the 1715 Fleet recoveries in the Real Eight Co. heydays was the finding of the “dragon-whistle” and 11' chain on the beach by Kip Wagner and Rex Stocker in 1962. While that was the largest concentration of “olive blossom” chain found in one spot, that type of chain was found in many other places on the Fleet sites, but rarely in such a size as we see in this lot, which is long enough to make 3 men’s necklaces, in a slightly larger gauge than others we have seen but the usual design of small, 2-sided links showing 6-petal flowers, very clearly hand-done as each link is a little bit different, highgrade gold. Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.

268

1419. Gold “money” chain of plain oval links, 92 grams, 27-1/2" long. A perfectly wearable length of heavy chain in simple, smooth, hand-crafted links, identical to ones of a century earlier from the Atocha and Santa Margarita, famously identified as a way to avoid tax in Spanish times (by breaking off the links you need in lieu of coins), lighter yellow gold but probably 22K. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

1420. Gold/emerald ring, approx. 3 carats, ladies’ size 3. A fairly clear, green gem (not too dark) with minimal inclusions, typically closed-mounted on a thick ring of large enough gauge to be re-sized, probably 22K, one of 5 rings found with a rosary in a gold box on the beach in 1995 by Mike Maguire. With Leah Miguel photo-certificate #MM-0002. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

1421. Iron cannonball grenade, professionally conserved, in plastic display case. 1141 grams, 3" in diameter. Fundamentally intact but with some corrosion and a minor stress-fracture (stable), hollow interior, popular item with collectors and nicely displayed. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $200$300.

1422. Lot of 9 lead musketballs (including 2 split shot) in Riker box with Real Eight Co. certificate signed by Lou Ullian. 159.8 grams total, up to 3/4" in diameter. A sundry assortment of sizes, the larger ones halves of split shot with extensions, light encrustation on some, the box labeled 1715 Fleet “Cabin Wreck” / RECOVERED BY “REAL EIGHT” Member LOU ULLIAN. With original Real Eight Co. photo-certificate hand-signed by Lou Ullian.

Estimate: $90-$135.

269

Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys

1430. Complete flintlock rifle, stabilized and lacquered and mounted on a board for hanging. About 13 lb, 58-1/2" long overall. This is something you never see from a shipwreck: A whole rifle, including the wooden stock and iron barrel! Normally the wood rots and is eaten by worms, and the iron rusts away; yet here we have an intact example, with small pieces missing but the overall shape and integrity just as it was in 1733. Even the ramrod is present (clinging to the barrel with encrustation, as well as the flintlock mechanism itself (also encrusted), just missing the trigger-guard and probably some other small furniture. The diver who found it wisely mummified the piece in acrylic right away, as opposed to professionally conserving it, which would have eliminated most of the iron and wood; but he sealed it together with the crude scrap board it is mounted on (its right side jaggedly broken), and he left the drips on the back, probably to enhance its rusticity. (Pickup only). From the “Coffins Patch” site. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

1431. Complete iron barshot with cylindrical ends, intact and as found but sealed and solid. 18-3/4 lb, 13" long, each end 4" in diameter. An unusually complete and solid example with most of it encased in sandy orange encrustation with chunks of debris in middle, but the majority of one end exposed to show clean but featureless iron, important for projectile collectors but also a great display. From the “Coffins Patch” site, with certificate #9940 from the salvagers. Estimate: $350-$500.

1432. Encrusted but intact iron cannonball (4"). 9-3/4 lb, 5" in diameter. A complete and stable cocoon, its identity certain due to its spherical shape and sizable heft, but with none of the ball surface visible, just crusty orange crud (impacted sand and oxidation), a fascinating display. From the “Coffins Patch” site, with certificate #9941 from the salvagers. Estimate: $150-$225.

1433. Large iron cannonball (4-1/2") with bar segment (half of a barshot), professionally conserved. 15-1/2 lb. A complete and sturdy ball with square-shanked bar segment protruding, shiny black all over, stable and uncorroded except for small patch on ball.

From the “Coffins Patch” site, with certificate #9942 from the salvagers. Estimate: $125-$200.

1434. Medium iron cannonball (4"), professionally conserved.

Over 9 lb, 4" in diameter.

1436. Hemispherical end of an iron barshot (4"), professionally conserved. 4-1/2 lb, 4" in diameter. Solid and heavy half-ball with square-shaped socket on flat side where crossbar should go, minor scuffs but no cracks or egregious corrosion. From the “Coffins Patch” site, with certificate #9945 from the salvagers. Estimate: $70-$100.

1437. Small iron cannonball (2-1/2"), intact and stable. About 2-1/2 lb, 2-3/4" in diameter. A very smooth and solid ball but with rusty and patinated surfaces (dry), somewhat rare to see such a stable ball without black coating. Estimate: $70-$100.

1438. Large lead sounding weight. 4393 grams, 13" long and 2" at its widest. A very tall and heavy weight with hole at top and cavity in bottom (the latter supposedly for wax to pick up a sea-floor sample in the process), somewhat worn and in fact slightly bent but with attractive white encrustation. Estimate: $200-$300.

Unidentified 1700s wreck in the Florida Keys 1439. Two pairs of wire shot (lead musketballs joined by twisted wire).

99.2 grams total, 6-1/2" long (fully extended). Simple musketballs with twisted wire

Unidentified early-1700s wreck in the Goodwin Sands, southeast of England

1440. English pewter plate, ca. 1703. 604 grams, 11" in diameter. Broad plate with shallow (1/2" deep) bowl and narrow (1-1/8") rim, somewhat encrusted but with some spots of original shininess, a few pinholes throughout, no markings. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $60-$90.

panoramic design on outside that shows a fisherman on the shore of a large lake with trees and mountains, good color and glaze but with white shell “footprints” on bottom, unusual motif for this wreck (more common for the “Ca Mau wreck” of ca. 1723-35. Estimate: $100-$150.

Unidentified early-1800s wreck (Dutch) in the North Sea

1453. Small bronze bell with original clapper, ca. 1800-1820. 5520 grams, 8" tall and 8" in diameter. Ship’s bells are rare, but this one shows no markings or any other way to identify the ship, yet remarkably the bronze clapper on looped iron wire inside is intact, the bronze lightly patinated all over (some rust inside), still makes a nice ring! With photo-certificate. Estimate: $125-$200.

Unidentified mid-1800s wreck in the English Channel 1454. Tiny lead cannon (toy or game-piece). 19.4 grams, 1-1/4" long. This miniature piece is an actual, functioning carronade, with 1/16" touch-hole and 1/4" bore, lightly patinated all over, very cute.

Non-Wreck Artifacts Arms/armor/militaria Cannons

1455. Large bronze cannon, with Spanish coat-of-arms, 9' long, from a 1588 Spanish Armada ship in the Naval Battle of Gravelines. Approx. 3000 lb. The most impressive artifacts from any wreck, at least in terms of size, are its large cannons, especially the bronze cannons, which were generally more ornate than their iron counterparts and are always found in better condition. The one we are offering here is additionally impressive for its origin, in fact the first cannon from the famous 1588 Spanish Armada that we have ever seen on the market, this one recovered by a fisherman well off the coast of Nieuwpoort, Belgium, apparently isolated and not associated with other wreckage and therefore likely jettisoned from a sinking ship. While the surfaces of this cannon are somewhat indistinct (but nicely patinated), which could indicate damage from fire if not corrosion and wear, the Spanish Habsburg crest (just like on the coins) is prominent on the top before the trunnions and is flanked by two square-shaped holes where iron casting-pins used to be, behind which is a raised plaque (its lettering, if there was any, now long gone) in front of the touch-hole. The cascabel and broad (16") breech are ornately decorated in floral design. Above the trunnions, as usual, are two “dolphins� (lifting handles). The 10" reinforced muzzle, with 5-1/4" bore is lightly decorated as well. While we cannot find any comparable sales, similar guns have been found around the world, notably from other Armada wrecks around Scotland and Ireland. Unique opportunity for the advanced cannon collector or Spanish Armada enthusiast. For a video viewing of the cannon, go to http:/ /www.sedwickcoins.com/cannon/video.htm. (Pickup only, from an address in Maryland, crane service included.) With photo-certificate. Estimate: $25,000-$35,000.

277

1456. Bronze swivel cannon, Spanish or Portuguese, 17th century, with custom carved-mahogany stand. About 80 lb (with stand), 31" long. A well-constructed piece with neatly cast dolphins (lifting handles), crowned crest with 4-petal flower inside 6-point star,

5 raised reinforces, prominent touch-hole, bullet-shaped 2" cascabel, 1" trunnions and 3" flared muzzle with 1" bore, attractively patinated all over. The stand (approx. 12" x 12" x 10") is ornate and came from a razed building structure in the Far East. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

1457. Bronze signal cannon (upright), Spanish, late 1500s, with initials M S on side. 615 grams, 6" tall and 4-1/2" in diameter (base). Very heavy and sturdy piece with wide base, narrow (1") bore, flat powder-tray (also 1") next to touch-hole, D-shaped handle in side, patinated bronze color all over. Interestingly, the M S initials on the side appear to have been “chopped out,� possibly to show a change in ownership or user. Found near Manila, Philippines. Estimate: $350-$500.

1458. Small (model) iron bombard (1500s design) and wooden carriage, made ca. 1900. 9290 grams, 20" x 8" x 7". Very rustic hand-made carriage with (so far as we know) operational cannon, with straight tube reinforced by 8 straps and terminating in 1-1/2" bore, lifting handle behind touch-hole, wooden wheels with studded metal tracks, manifestly old but intact and sturdy. With photo-certificate.

Estimate: $300-$450.

1459. Miniature bronze cannon, Dutch, ca. 1750-1800.

476 grams, 6-1/2" long. A functional scale model with hole where cascabel

should be, 3/8" bore inside overly flared 1-1/4" muzzle, nice dark brown color all over except for areas of tan patina. With photo-certificate.

Estimate: $75-$110.

278

Cannonballs

1460. Spanish stone roundshot (cannonball) from a 1588 Spanish Armada wreck off Nieuwpoort, Belgium, rare. 1754 grams, 4-1/2" in diameter. Far less common than iron or even bronze cannonballs are the ones made of stone, typically in use in Europe in the 1300s-1400s (so this one is rather late) but undesirable for being too light, too hard to make and apt to break apart upon impact, which also accounts for their rarity now, this one very neatly formed out of whitish rock, fully intact and also important for its pedigree. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $200-$300.

1461. Lot of 2 Revolutionary War-era roundshot, American, from the Battle of Castine (1779).

Large: 7-1/4 lb, 4" in diameter; small: 1-1/2 lb, 3" in diameter. Simple balls, with visible casting seams and pits, the larger one stable and solid but the smaller one lightly

cracked, but slightly rusty, but important part is the pedigree, as both were excavated from the site of Ft. George, Penobscot Bay, Maine, where the famous Battle of Castine took place in 1779. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $150-$225.

1462. Large (12-pounder) iron cannonball in encrustation, colonial era (1700s). Nearly 17 lb, 8" in diameter overall.

Found in the Delaware River near Philadelphia, PA, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $150-$225.

1463. Iron roundshot (6-pounder) in encrustation, British, with broad arrow mark, Revolutionary War era (1777). 9 lb, 7" in diameter overall. Highly desirable artifact from the Revolutionary War battle of Ft. Mifflin (1777), with all but about 10% of the ball exposed to show a large (distinctive) arrow marking next to a circular pit, minimal corrosion but some cracking, the rest of the ball embedded in a sizable chunk of impacted sand and oxidation, quite an interesting display with historical importance and pedigree. Found in the Delaware River near the site of Ft. Mifflin (Philadelphia, PA), with photo-certificate. Estimate: $200-$300.

279

With photo-certificate. Estimate: $350-$500.

495 grams, 10" long.

64 grams, 52" long. Extra-long stringer of mostly plain blue tubes but also

some smaller beads used in trade with the natives and popular with collectors today. Curiously, some of the beads here are fused from a late-1500s fire in the area where they were found. From a Spanish settlement in the southern Caribbean. Estimate: $200-$300.

A very popular type of native trade medium, recognizably smaller and sturdier than the usual tajaderas, but particularly desired for its patent gold content, mixed in with the usual heavy surface patina, lots of orange and green color all over. Estimate: $100-$150.

1486. Copper-arsenic “hacha” with flecks of gold from Ecuador (Cañari culture), ca. 1200 AD, rare. 25.7 grams, 31/4" long. A very popular type of native trade medium, recognizably smaller and sturdier than the usual tajaderas, but particularly desired for its patent gold content, mixed in with the usual heavy surface patina, bright sea-foam green color all over. Estimate: $100-$150.

Miscellaneous Bottles 1487. Dutch “onion” bottle, ca. 1730-1750, excellent condition. 772 grams, 8" tall and 5-1/2" in diameter. Perfect specimen with no chips, cracks or stars, just a few natural bubbles inside the glass, which is an even light green all over, 1-1/2" pontil, crude lip (as made), glossy exterior. Found in the Dutch West Indies, with photo-certificate.

Estimate: $125-$200.

1488. Dutch “case gin” bottle with AH seal (Houtman) at top and A.HOUTMAN & CO. / SCHIEDAM on sides (early 1800s). 964 grams, 11" tall and 4" to a side. Impressively intact and undamaged schnapps bottle with applied seal on shoulder and thick lip, prominent lettering on two sides as well as “1” on the flat bottom, light green glass with no chips or cracks or stars, just a light tan veneer of encrustation near top. Found in the Dutch West Indies, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $50-$75.

Equestrian 1489. Pair of large brass estribos (covered stirrups), Spanish colonial (early 1800s). 2144 grams, each 10-1/2" x 5" x 4". Basically backless brass shoes, with pointed and upturned toes,

latch-bar on tops flanked by a design of natives in headdresses, triangular holes in bottom (one cracked), worn and patinated but intact. Found in Colombia, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $125-$200.

285

1490. Pair of Spanish colonial steel spurs (late 1700s) with silver inlays and one repaired using a Chilean silver coin (1800s). 955 grams, 7" long. Intact but well-used old spurs with cut-steel rowels, silver inlay design on forks, one with inlay also on the C-shaped heel, that one also with original leather strap remaining, but the other one more interesting for the fact that its axle-end was repaired with a 1/ 2 real of the Chilean Republic (1800s). With photo-certificate. Estimate: $200-$300.

1491. Bronze spurs with steel rowels, Spanish colonial style (early 1800s). 888 grams, 8" long. Brassy in color, with hand ornamentation, with cut-steel rowels and original leather straps, excellent condition. Found in South America, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $125$200.

Pipes

1492. Dutch clay pipe (early 1700s) with XXX design for Amsterdam, intact. 24 grams, 6-1/4" long. A typical smoking pipe in perfect condition, with engrailing around rim and maker’s mark (undeciphered) on base, but unusual in showing 6 rows of X’s at the smoking end that consist of three X’s to a side, the symbol for the city of Amsterdam in particular (curiously transmuted into something more salacious in our time). Found in a canal near Amsterdam. Estimate: $100-$150.

1493. Lot of 5 clay pipes, ca. 1680-1750, in plastic display-box. 69.1 grams total, up to 4-1/2" long. Typical plain pipes (no designs or markings) with intact bowls, short stems from use, as smokers would break off the part they used before passing the pipes along. From an early plantation wharf site in Virginia, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $50-$75.

286

Slave-related

1494. Large iron leg-shackles for slaves or prisoners, 1700s, from the French West Indies, rare. 2550 grams, 39" long, each cuff about 4-1/2" in diameter. Two sturdy cuffs, each with hole for lock opposite a hinged side through which a ring connects to the 13-link hand-

forged chain between them (additional ring in middle for locking onto a fixed loop, in the floor of a ship for example), all surfaces pitted from saltwater use but remarkably complete and operational. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $300-$450.

1495. Iron slave-transport shackles, early 1800s, from West Africa. 376 grams, 12" long, each cuff about 3" wide. This hand-forged item appears to be for securing the wrists of a slave on board a ship, with both cuffs slid onto a straight rod that terminates in a flat stop on one end and a loop with ring on the other end, rusty but solid. Found at a trading site on the Congo River, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $100-$150.

1496. Lot of 3 bronze manillas (slave bracelets) of different sizes, early 1800s, from various shipwrecks.

1152 grams total, from 2-1/2" to 8" in diameter. C-shaped slave tokens such as these were manufactured in a wide range of sizes and designs, according to the

location and quantity of the trade, the two smaller ones in this lot more typical with flattened-oval terminations but the large one with more rounded ends and with engraving on the sides, all solid and nicely patinated with very light encrustation. Accordingly the certificate that accompanies this lot, the large piece is known as a “Queen,” the middle one is a “Popo” (made in Nantes) and the small one is a “Okpoho” (made in Birmingham). With photo-certificate. Estimate: $100-$150.

287

Other

1497. Large iron Nuremburg (“Armada”) chest (late 1500s to mid-1600s), with unique “Adam and Eve”-themed inner plate, with original key (fully operational). 150 lb, 34" x 18" x 17". When people think of pirate “treasure chests,” this is the image that comes to mind; but the truth is that these more or less mass-produced German boxes were like the Diebold safes of their time: way too heavy and bulky to transport, even when empty, yet eminently secure. They were made for castles and manors, and were used to hold great treasures, but surviving intact and functional specimens like this one are rare and in demand. The disguised keyhole on top (not the large, ornate false keyhole in the front) operates an ingenious locking mechanism under the lid that throws 7 bolts around the lip of the chest all at once to prevent prying. What is neat about this particular example is that the large (29" x 14") steel plate covering the locking mechanism shows a cutaway “Adam and Eve” (twice, side-by-side); otherwise the chest is somewhat ordinary, with no scenery painted on the outside or the inside (red bottom inside), typically rusty but solid and intact (couple rivets on top missing), with large C-shaped handles on the sides and 2 straps in front to hold down bolt-loops on the lid when shut. (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

1498. Large iron Nuremburg (“Armada”) chest (late 1500s to mid-1600s), with inner box and original keys (operational). 138 lb, 32" x 17" x 16-1/2". A typical “treasure safe” from a European castle or manor house from the time of the Spanish Armada (hence the nickname), with disguised keyhole on top, ornate false keyhole in front, fully functional 7-bolt locking mechanism (missing the cover-plate) with cusps in back to prevent prying, typical inner box to one side (for holding the most valuable items) that has a key but does not open, the exterior with large C-shaped handles on the sides and 2 straps in front to hold down bolt-loops on the lid when shut. This specimen is in choice intact condition (just a couple rivets missing on top), with original painting on outside that shows a different flower in each section. (Extra packing charges apply.) Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Very cute little money box with fully operational lock, scrollwork cutout design around edge but no engraving, shiny steel except for rusty front and one side (the other side and back with buffed circular design), red-painted interior lined with green velvet, handle in top, “XIII” on bottom. With photo-certificate.

Estimate: $100-$150.

1500. Brass box (Dutch), ca. 1800-1820 (key missing). 598 grams, 8-1/4" x 5" x 3-1/2". A thin-walled rectangular safe-box with small handle on top, floral motif embossed on top and in corners, keyhole in front, bright brass color all over except for bottom of interior, which is slightly rusty and patinated. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $75-$110.

1501. European (Italian?) brass nesting-weight set (complete with case and lid), 1800s.

1253 grams, 2-1/2" tall and 3" in diameter. Unlike most of the nesting-weight sets we have offered, this one is entirely complete, with lidded container that has an ornate handle

and latch on top and with numbers stamped on each ring on the lid corresponding to the cups inside, all the cups present and nicely fitted, mostly dark bronze or brass in color but some patina, good condition save for a dent on the lip of one cup. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $75-$110.

1502. Large iron mortar and pestle, Spanish colonial. 6760 grams, 7" in diameter and 5-3/4" tall, the pestle 12" long. Simple design but rather large and heavy, with some original steel color peeking through the surface rust. Found in Peru. Estimate: $200-$300.

290

1503. Spanish colonial iron door-lock (complete) with key (1700s-early 1800s). 768 grams, 9-1/2" long overall, the lock itself 21/2" to a side. Square box-type lock connected to long, U-shaped bar with sliding strap that fits into the lock, all very sturdy and operational, just

a little rusty from age. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $80-$120.

1504. Small earthenware olive jar, Spanish, 1600s-1700s. 2708 grams, 10" tall and 7" in diameter. Somewhat small for this type, but impressively intact (just one tiny hole in side and slightly larger hole in bottom), full thick lip, even tan color all over. From a colonial dwelling site in Pueblo, Mexico, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $200-$300.

1505. Small collection of buttons, buckles, crucifix, medallion and lead ball from the early 1700s to early 1800s, in Riker box. 89.9 grams total, roughly 1/2" up to 3" each. Nice display consisting of one crusty bronze crucifix, two bronze shoe-buckles, one thin and corroded medallion, a lead musketball and 10 pewter/brass buttons that are all intact and with clear details, including 2 with Spanish arms and one with Mexican eagle, a few with rust spots. From a colonial dwelling site in Mexico, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $75-$110.

1506. Lot of 6 Revolutionary War-era brass and pewter shoe buckles from the Yorktown campaign (ca. 1780), in plastic display-box. 120 grams total, up to 3" long. A variety of designs and sizes, half with steel middle bar intact (rusty) but none with the hasp remaining, all more or less patinated, just a nice representative lot, intriguing provenance. From a Continental Army campsite near Yorktown, Virginia, with photo-certificate. Estimate: $50-$75.

291

Natural history Fossils

1507. Fossilized trilobite (2-1/2") in matrix from Morocco, 250-500 million years old. 198.2 grams, 3" x 2" x 1-3/4". Perfectly detailed little black bug with protruding eyes and rippled and reticulated back, in a somewhat arched position, nicely contrasted against the whitish matrix. Estimate: $100-$150.

1508. Fossilized trilobite (1-1/2") in matrix, probably found in the US, 250-500 million years old. 114.9 grams, 3-1/2" x 2" x 1". Complete, raised fossil with fully discernible ridges, tan in color against a smooth gray matrix with sharp points, the fossil itself very nice

but the matrix below it once split and glued back together. Estimate: $60-$90.

1509. Fossilized pinecone (araucaria mirabilis), 160 million years old (Jurassic period), from Patagonia, Argentina.

121.9 grams, 3-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 7/8". This very attractive fossil is the result of a massive volcanic eruption that buried a forest of conifers in the

Middle Jurassic period, which petrified and geodized the pinecones. This example is a vertical half-cut, showing the crystalline interior and seeds around the edge, polished to a luster, with elegant pink and brown colors dominating, the exterior with high-relief points, an impressive display.

Estimate: $125-$200.

1510. Fossilized pinecone (araucaria mirabilis), 160 million years old (Jurassic period), from Patagonia, Argentina.

156.9 grams, 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1-1/4". This very attractive fossil is the result of a massive volcanic eruption that buried a forest of conifers in the

Middle Jurassic period, which petrified and geodized the pinecones. This example is a vertical half-cut, showing the crystalline interior and seeds around the edge, polished to a luster, with elegant pink and brown colors dominating, the exterior with high-relief points, an impressive display.

Estimate: $125-$200.

1511. Large fossil woolly mammoth tooth (approx. 10,000 to 100,000 years old) from the North Sea. 3222 grams, roughly 10" x 5" x 4". A rather large and impressively well-detailed molar with about 19-20 ridges

interspersed with crystalline structure, mostly brownish in color but some dark gray and whitish, accompanied by a pencil notation on masking tape that gives the exact coordinates where the piece was found. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $250-$375.

292

1512. Fossil fish in matrix (both halves) from Brazil, probably Santana formation (approx. 100 million years old). 2718 grams, approx 10" x 5". An attractive specimen of an entire fish (species unknown) with curious L-shaped appendage on bottom, encased in a large, kidney-bean shaped rocky matrix that has been opened up lengthwise to show the fossil impression on both sides, intact and undamaged except for a light crack on one side that was filled on the outside edge, tan in color and impressively large. With photo-certificate.

Estimate: $100-$150.

Minerals

1513. Crystalline gold specimen in volcanic andesite, Olinghouse Mine, Washoe Co., Nevada, mounted on clearplastic stand. 17.9 grams total, approx. 1-1/4". Ample, spidery filaments of gold on a white rock (as found), nice little display. Estimate: $200$300.

1514. Crystalline gold specimen in volcanic andesite, Olinghouse Mine, Washoe Co., Nevada, mounted on clearplastic stand. 14.9 grams total, approx. 1-1/4". Fine streaks of wispy gold protruding from a greenish rock (as found), small but attractive.

Estimate: $175-$250.

1515. Crystalline gold specimen in volcanic andesite, Olinghouse Mine, Washoe Co., Nevada, mounted on clearplastic stand. 33.8 grams total, approx. 1-1/2" x 1" x 1". Sharp-corned rectangular chunk of greenish rock with fine streaks of gold, very cute.

293

Nautical

1517. Equinoctial sundial (compass) in mahogany box, 1800s, with original paper latitude chart inside lid. 197 grams, 3-1/2" square about 1" thick. A very well-preserved and fully functional instrument combining a compass base with a folding sundial gnomon (its needle still very sharp), brass hardware, all mounted inside a box whose hollow upper lid contains a cutout paper list of the latitudes of 30 major cities around the world, a lovely antique with continuing practical use. Estimate: $300-$450.

1518. Brass / wood ship’s binnacle, Japanese, mid1900s, with light. 51" tall, 14" in diameter (main part). The captain’s bridge of every major sailing vessel has two prominent pieces of equipment that nautical collectors covet: a helm (see next lot) and a binnacle. The latter item, like the one in this lot, is basically a housing for the ship’s compass, which gimbals freely inside a brass dome with glass window and other apertures (also handles on side for easy removal), characteristically with large iron globes (which look just like cannonballs) on brass brackets to either side for calibration and stabilization. The rest of the piece is essentially a wooden cylindrical stand, with small door in front, the inside of which is hollow except for a retrofit lighting kit (just plug it in and enjoy the ambient glow), the square floorbase with 4 knobs in corners for fastening on deck. The manufacturer’s name and location (Nunotani Keiki, Amagasaki, Japan) are visible in cutout on the dial. Perfect for a nauticalthemed den or store. (Pickup only.) Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

1519. Brass ship’s helm (wheel and pedestal), StetsonRoss, 1900s. Pedestal: 38" tall and 12" in diameter; wheel: 36". Like the binnacle, the ship’s helm or steering-wheel is an iconic component of every sailing ship, and this model combines a classic design with a modern, sturdy composition, with flat, 6-spoked wheel terminating in wooden handles mounted to the side of a solid cylindrical pedestal of brass flaring at bottom (with 8 eight bolt-holes for mounting on deck) and bowl-like at top, surmounted by a flat dial indicating degrees of turn to port or starboard. Apart from innocuous (actually attractive) patina on the handles, the brass is clean and the wheel and dial move smoothly in unison as they should, evidently fully functional but also a great nautical display. (Pickup only.) Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1520. Bronze dive helmet, Korean, 1970s(?). About 34 lb, 14" in diameter and 17" tall. Bronze dive helmets, for deep-sea diving using

surface-supplied air and de-pressurization, became iconic in the early 1900s, especially for treasure diving, but they are still used today around the world. This complete example consists of a smooth-top bonnet with 3 glass windows ringed with brass (the two side windows with crosshatch grills) and with brass relief-valve in side and intake bib in back, screwed into a yoke-like brass-ringed collar with 2 pegs in front and 12 wing-nut fasteners around the perimeter. The bronze and brass surfaces are clean and smooth (the top a bit worn and coppery), but the inside has a light veneer of patina. Great for a nautical display. Estimate: $400-$600.

Modern

1521. Classic Zippo lighter with Burgos, Spain, 1 real of Ferdinand-Isabel affixed on side, in original box, unique.

61.1 grams, 2" x 1-1/2". A plain but classic lighter (collectible in its own right) with a Ferdinand-Isabel 1R mounted on side with full yoke-and-

arrows design, B mintmark and Gothic legends visible, nicely toned and XF or so for grade, but the lighter itself basically a “new in box” Model 200 with brushed chrome finish, hard to tell the exact age because the design has not changed since the 1930s! Estimate: $200-$300.

1522. Fisher “space pen” made with Atocha gold in original box (mint condition). 74.8 grams, 6-1/2" x 2-1/4" (in box). One of the many marketing connections Mel Fisher made in the 1980s was with Paul Fisher, whose “space pens” were the ideal tie-in for using newly found silver and gold from the Atocha to further both Fisher names, this example in sterling silver with gold accent in “new in box” condition, the plastic container printed with “Actual Gold from the Sunken Treasure of the 1622 Spanish Galleon ATOCHA.” Estimate: $200-$300.

1523. Gold-plated silver plaque engraved with “Nuestra Señora de Atocha Anniversary Edition 128/375” (originally presented with limited-edition coin sets). 100 grams, 3-1/2" x 2". A simple plaque of silver from the Atocha plated in gold that was used for promotional sets, now a worthwhile collectible in its own right due to the increase in metals prices. Estimate: $200-$300.

1524. Atocha “Golden Crew” men’s gold ring, size 11, 18K, made by Jostens for Treasure Salvors in 1985 and presented to original crew members when the mother lode was found, one of only 84 made. Popularly considered the “Super Bowl ring” of shipwreck salvage, this modern relic is highly coveted by treasure people who appreciate the significance of the Atocha find in 1985 and the popularity of Mel Fisher in general. Featured on the top is the universal dive flag of red with a white stripe, here crafted in quartz and corundum, circumscribed by the words “Atocha GOLDEN CREW”, with 1622 Treasure Salvors Inc. / 1985 on the sides. The inside is engraved with TODAY IS THE DAY (curious that it is not the usual “Today’s the day”) and a mysterious “11.1”, which at first seems like a date but does not correspond to any important date we know of (other theories include a reference to the size, ring number or to the Biblical Hosea 11.1).

According to one of this ring’s previous owners, Captain Craig Eubank, the recipients of these rings (men’s and women’s), which included secretaries and company officials, not just the divers, could inscribe whatever they wanted on the inside. As the participants in the 1985 “Mother Lode” recovery grow older, the 84 rings are becoming lost to time; to our knowledge this is the first one ever available for sale at auction. Much like an Oscar trophy or a Medal of Honor, these important rings will always have significance and value. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
