Watch List notes:

Colombian cut gold "finger" bar from the Atocha (1622), 331.3 grams, 21-1/2K, marked with owner/foundry "EN RADA" (Pena-Randa), plated in Treasure of the Atocha. 6-1/4" long, about 1" wide and 1/4" thick. Typically flat bar with five partial tax stamps (circular sections with dot borders), three fineness markings (each XXI with two dots below), and one full owner/foundry mark, all nicely contrasting with toning in crevices and some black encrustation, the cut end very neatly sliced with no other clips, an impressively marked example with a very manageable amount of intrinsic value, also desirable as pedigreed to the main book about the Atocha by Duncan Mathewson. From the Atocha (1622), with Fisher photo-certificate #551 (pre-1980), and featured (before cleaning, encrusted with chain and another bar) on page C-7 of Mathewson's book Treasure of the Atocha (1986).

Estimate: $20000 - 30000
