Lot Title: Atocha 84lbs, 5.12ozs Silver Bar, CLASS 1, with certificate
Lot Number: 301
Description: M.W. Consignment. Ex: Atocha. Philip IV silver ingot, accompanied by the original certificate giving the net weight as 84 pounds, 5.12 ounces of silver. The bar offers superior rectangular shape, unlike many that were molded with angled or rounded ends. Along with other specie aboard ship, the silver was being transported back to Spain except that a hurricane off the Florida Keys sank the Atocha and carried the precious metal cargo to the shifting sands below. Purity of the bar was classified as 2380 out of the maximum 2400 possible (i.e. 99.17% pure), indicated by (MM)CCCLXXX stamped directly onto the bar itself. An extraordinary reminder of the event and much, much rarer than the many "pieces of eight" that sank with the silver bars, and that frequently come to market today.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
