BOLIVIA. Group of Minors (17 Pieces), ND (ca. late 16th-early 17th Centuries). Potosi Mint. Average Grade: GOOD Details. Sea salvaged, broken flans.
For the aficionado of coins salvaged from the famous Atocha shipwreck, this lot will undoubtedly provide much intrigue and allure. Featuring mostly minor denominations, this array does offer many with an issue or two--namely that there are numerous with broken flans. As such, a number of these examples emanate from Fisher's "frag bag" of broken bits. Each comes with its own ticket from Treasure Salvors, Inc, with TSI number.
Ex: Atocha shipwreck, sunk on 6 September 1622 off the coast of what is now the Florida Keys.
Estimate: $750 - $1500
