Clump of 4 silver coins (Mexican 8R cob and English halfcrown, shilling and sixpence) and lead musket-ball with other debris. 211 grams, roughly 3" x 2" x 1-1/2". Excellent shape and composition for a little display, the coins sticking out at all angles and darkly toned as uncleaned and the musket-ball quite prominent among small bits of detritus compacted together with hardened mud, which (the divers tell us) is the result of large boulders that roll along the sea-floor like a steamroller. With certificate #11091 from salvager and pedigreed to our Auction #5, with original lot-tag #411. Recovered from: Association, sunk in 1707 off the Scilly Isles, southwest of England
Estimate: $350
