Atocha Treasure Coins
Atocha Treasure Coins specializes in the
sales of authentic Atocha coins recovered by Mel Fisher from the Atocha
shipwreck, a Spanish galleon lost off the Florida Keys during a hurricane
in 1622. Over 160,000 shipwreck coins, mostly 8 reales issues or
pieces of eight, were salvaged along with numerous other historical
artifacts. We offer a large selection of coins in all grades and
denominations, each accompanied by the original certificate of
authenticity as issued by Mel's company, Treasure Salvors, Inc.
In addition to Atocha coin sales, the
web site is rich with information on the history of the Atocha shipwreck
and the Spanish treasure fleets. Also provided to assist the
researcher of Spanish colonial coinage is a page dedicated to the design
characteristics of shield type cobs, the coin type recovered from the
Atocha.

Internet based dealer of authentic Atocha coins in the central United
States. In addition to sales, we also purchase coins.
