Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC Professional numismatists specializing in the colonial coinage of Spanish America, shipwreck cob coins and artifacts of all nations.  Rooswijk, sunk in 1739 off southeast England  Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC Professional numismatists specializing in the colonial coinage of Spanish America, shipwreck cob coins and artifacts of all nations.

Note: Some sources cite the year of sinking as 1740, depending on which calendar was observed—England at the time (till 1752) was still on the "old" Julian calendar, which put them eleven days behind other Europeans on the "new" Gregorian calendar that we use today. It would actually make more sense to quote the Gregorian date (January, 1740), but giving the Julian date (December, 1739), while admittedly confusing, just seems to set this wreck apart from the many 1740s wrecks that yielded similar material (Hollandia, Princess Louisa, Reygersdahl, etc.) and reinforces the fact that all the coins on board were pre-1740. For more information about this wreck, we recommend Ernie Richards' new book SHIPWRECKS AND THEIR COINS: Volume 4—The 1740 Dutch East Indiaman ROOSWIJK, available upon request for $10 each.
