Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Philip V, assayer not visible, extremely rare provenance, with original Tyvek museum tag and Barry Clifford certificate. 22.74 grams. Good full cross and crown, with light surface corrosion but much flatness (as made), the real attraction being the provenance, with barcoded tag for proof that the coin was officially recovered from the world's only documented pirate ship to yield quantities of treasure, virtually all of which is still owned by Clifford's museum, which travels the country and generates millions of dollars in ticket sales. Pedigreed to the Thomas Gray collection and formerly displayed at the ANA Money Museum's "Treasures of the Deep" exhibit (2014-15), also pedigreed to our Auction #12, with original lot-tag #706 and original Tyvek museum tag and Barry Clifford certificate #23870. Recovered from: Whydah, sunk in 1717 off Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Estimate: $5000 - 10000
