galleon Santa Margarita , sister
ship to the Atocha. Both were lost during a hurricane near
the Florida Keys on September 6, 1622 and were salvaged by Mel
Fisher and his company, Treasure Salvors Inc. Santa
Margarita coins are rare in comparison to those from the
Atocha. Coin description: Grade 2+ (listed as a
grade I on the insert tag and grade II on the certificate), Shield type
cob, 8 reales, Potosi mint, assayer Q, circa 1613-1616.
Nice full cross with all lions and castles visible in the cross
quadrants. Equally nice shield side with most of the shield
elements visible along with the mint and assayer marks P and Q at left.
An excellent Santa Margarita coin.

Sea Salvaged - most likely recovered from the Atocha, but
lacking the paperwork to
positively identify it as such. Using Mel Fisher's grading system,
this would be graded as grade 1 coin. Coin
description: Shield type cob, Potosi
mint, Philip III, assayer T, dated 1620. Excellent,
nicely centered full cross with all lions and castles
boldly visible in the cross quadrants along with 20 of the date
1620 located at the 11 o'clock position along the edge.
Nearly full
shield with
the crown partially visible above along with a hint of the mint and assayer marks P
and T at left. A
nice sea salvaged cob with particularly beautiful cross side
details.
Supplied with a New
World Treasures photo type Certificate of Authenticity. |

Recovered from the Lucayan Beach
wreck, named after Lucayan Beach Grand Bahama Island, where the
wreck was discovered in 1964. Popular belief ties
this wreck to the Dutch hero Piet Heyn who captured the entire
1628 Spanish fleet at Matanzas Bay, Cuba. Two of his
ships were lost near Grand Bahama Island during their return
voyage home; it seems likely that the Lucayan Beach wreck is one
of Heyn's lost ships. Coin description: Shield
type cob, 8 reales, Mexico mint, Philip IV, assayer D, circa
1620's. Excellent, deeply struck full cross with
two bold castles and one bold lion visible in the cross quadrants.
Deep struck, nearly full shield with
mint and assayer marks oM and D at left. A large, heavy,
ruggedly appealing Mexico cob; one of the nicest we've seen from
this wreck. Supplied with
the original Spink and Son, LTD display box with small
certificate and a New World Treasures photo certificate of authenticity. |

Recovered by Rex
Cowen, the expedition leader and Jack Gayton, the diving team
leader, from the wreck of the
Dutch East Indiaman Hollandia, which

from Amsterdam to Batavia. All on board perished.

of exceptionally nice specimens from this wreck. Supplied
