Lot description:


MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 8 reales, Charles II or Philip V, assayer not visible, encrusted as found. 57.11 grams total. Roughly 2-1/2" x 2" x 3/4". Just one coin but extremely thickly encrusted with puffy gray oxidation impregnated with lots of small rocks and shells, no doubt from resting in seabed marl for most of its days, not the usual find from the 1715 Fleet and a fabulous conversation piece. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, sunk off the east coast of Florida

Estimate: $300 - $450
