Atocha Shipwreck Coins
The Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha, struck a
reef and sank on September 6, 1622, during a raging hurricane near the
Florida Keys. Mel Fisher and his company Treasure Salvors, Inc.,
discovered the main wreck site on July 20, 1985 and ultimately recovered
over 160,000 silver Spanish colonial coins. The Atocha has the
distinction of being the richest Spanish treasure galleon recovered to
date. Certificates of Authenticity accompany all Atocha Shipwreck treasure coins. View a
typical original Atocha
certificate of authenticity. Display your Atocha coin and
Certificate of Authenticity in our multiple sleeved
display folder
found on our "Atocha Treasure Coins" website.

Atocha Grade 1 |
Item#: 11179
(85A-210645)
Denomination: 8 reales
Mint: Potosi
Assayer: T
Weight: 26.6 grams
Diameter: 1.4-1.5 inches
Price: $1995.00
SOLD |
| Grade
1+,
beautiful full cross with transposed lions
and castles, all boldly struck, and a hint of the 16 of the date
16xx (1618-1620). Equally superb full shield with the upper
half transposed - other details include a backwards mint mark P
and bold assayer mark T at left and a denomination mark VIII
(with an O above) at right. This exceptional Atocha coin
displays a variety of errors, including backwards letters and
transpositions commonly found on assayer T's coins, but usually
not all at once. These errors suggest that assayer T was
dyslexic. This is an exceptional and interesting coin and is a
must buy for those desiring the very best. Supplied with the original photo type
Certificate of Authenticity and a booklet "Shipwrecks and Their Coins: Volume
1 -
1622 Spanish Treasure Fleet" that provides details about the
