Atocha Shipwreck 8 Reale Grade 1 Coin
-
Description
Original Atocha Shipwreck coin unmounted complete with the original certificate from Treasure Salvors INC. Signed by Mel Fisher.
Grade 1 dictates that the coin was retrieved from the almost middle of the pack (motherload) in the wreckage with very corrosion compared to Grade 3 or 4.
An 8 Reales silver coin was approximately equivalent to one month’s pay for a sailor in the 1600’s.
