Grade 1 Atocha Coins

Grade 1 Atocha coins were salvaged from the interior most portion of the treasure chest, and thus exhibit minimal amounts of salt water damage.  Typically, they are clearly struck on both the obverse and reverse sides with the mintmark, assayer mark and denomination often all visible.  Atocha coins are supplied with the original photo type Certificate of Authenticity.  Display your Atocha coin and Certificate of Authenticity in our multiple sleeved display folder.  Mount your Atocha coin in a 14k Gold Bezel.

Grade 1-, a nice "as struck" coin with no signs of salt water corrosion, but with flatness on the cross side that obscures much of the cross details.  Because of the coin's very heavy weight and large diameter, lots of legend is visible around the edge, including the full King's ordinal III (Philip III) at the 5 o'clock position on the shield side.  The cross side details identify this coin as being struck in 1617 or later.  Supplied with the original photo type Certificate of Authenticity.  A heavy, uncorroded grade 1 coin offered at a great price.

Grade 1, nice full cross with a particularly well detailed castle in the lower right cross quadrant, but with the other lions and castle visible to varying degrees also.  The cross side also has a bold cross "+" visible at the top.  Nearly full, slightly double struck shield with the denomination mark VIII (8 reales) and most of the King's name visible at right.  The assayer is listed as not visible on the certificate, but the cross side lion and castle design is that of assayer Q, early in his tenure in office (1613-1616).  Supplied with the original photo type Certificate of Authenticity.  A nicely struck coin with well centered details and lots of visible legend on both sides.

8 Reales

 SOLD

 

Grade 1+, nice full, slightly double struck cross with all lions and castles visible in the cross quadrants along with the cross "+" above.  The cross side lions are transposed (located in the quadrants normally occupied by the castles).  But, most importantly on the cross side are the clear digits 2 and 0 of the date 1620 (the 2 looks like a Z) visible between the 8 and 10 o'clock position along the edge.  The right side of a second 0 is also visible to the right of the first which looks like "ZOO".  This is the second "ZOO" coin that we have seen from the Atocha.  The shield side exhibits an exceptional deep struck shield with mint and assayer marks P and T at left and a nearly complete crown above.  Dated cobs, even partially dated ones, are very collectable and are relatively uncommon finds from the Atocha, particularly nice grade 1 coins like this heavy weight specimen.  Supplied with the new style Mel Fisher's photo type Certificate of Authenticity.

  SOLD

 

Grade 1+, Excellent full cross with all lions and castles visible in the cross quadrants, the right side slightly double struck.  Equally nice, nearly full shield with all but the lower right shield element visible along with bold mint and assayer marks P and T at left.  This coin would look great mounted in a 14 gold bezel with the cross side facing out.  Atocha 4 reales coins are much more difficult to find compared to the 8 reales denomination coin and are in high demand.  Supplied with the original Mel Fisher's photo type Certificate of Authenticity.  An excellent 4 reales Atocha grade 1 coin with nicely centered details on both sides.
