Grade 2 Atocha Coins Grade 2 Atocha coins lack the clarity or detail of Grade 1
coins. The cause is usually due to corrosion from years of salt water
exposure, but sometimes from imperfections in the minting process itself.
The obverse and reverse sides, although not as clear, may show portions of
the cross and shield, mintmark, assayer mark and denomination; but seldom
all at once. Atocha coins are supplied with the
original photo type Certificate of Authenticity.

importantly with a bold mint and assayer mark P and T at left

Grade 2+, excellent, boldly struck cross with all lions and
castles clearly visible in the cross quadrants. Equally
nice, deeply struck shield
with a rare transposition of the upper shield elements and with
Y replacing the I in the king's name in the legend, found only
on coins of assayer T. Although the mint and assayer marks
are not visible to the left of the shield, these errors and the
cross side lion design, tie this coin to the 1618-1620 time
period.
An excellent heavy weight Atocha coin. Supplied with the original Treasure Salvors, Inc. photo type Certificate of Authenticity. |

| Grade 2+,
Exceptional, boldly struck cross side details including a full cross with all
lions and castles visible in the cross quadrants. Of particular importance on the cross side is
the bottom of the 6 (10 o'clock position) and bottom of the 8
(11 o'clock position) of the date 1618
located along the edge. The opposite side is extremely
well struck, but exhibits some pitting from corrosion.
Details include a completely full shield with
most of the crown above, mint and assayer marks P and RAL
(monogrammed) at left, very rare denomination mark 8 at right
and a lot of legend visible along the edge. Assayer RAL
held office only in the year 1618, coins from this assayer are
rare and highly collectable. But, what makes this coin
even more special is the numeral 8 denomination mark as coins
from this time period were marked VIII. A very desirable grade 2
coin.
