Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 escudos, (171)0J, silver-cob shape, extremely rare, Plate Coin in Pradeau. S-M30; KM-57.1. 26.9 grams. Very interesting coin with distinguished pedigree that dates to well before the 1715-Fleet finds (but note it very well could have been on the Fleet and salvaged contemporaneously), uniquely struck on a long, somewhat barrel-shaped flan that is typically seen in the silver cobs of this period but not gold, with full shield and cross and oXMJ and a faint 0 (could be 8) of the date above the o of the mintmark (decidedly not a penultimate digit, which would appear closer to the x of the mintmark), VF with a few flat areas and old marks but all the fields coated with a lovely red toning. Plate Coin in Pradeau's 1938 classic Numismatic History of Mexico, first seen on the market in a 1926 London auction and also pedigreed to the 1952 A.N.A. sale. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

Lot# 7 Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1 escudo, (1711-13), oXMJ, from the 1715 Fleet, professionally engraved in small characters with CARRIED ABOARD APOLLO 14 on one side and 31 JAN and 9 FEB 1971 on the other side. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1 escudo, (1711-13), oXMJ, from the 1715 Fleet, professionally engraved in small characters with CARRIED ABOARD APOLLO 14 on one side and 31 JAN and 9 FEB 1971 on the other side. S-M30; KM-51.1. 3.5 grams. Before this coin came along, we had no idea there was ever a connection between the space program and the 1715 Fleet, apart from the obvious geographic proximity and the fact that several of the original Real Eight divers had "day jobs" at the Cape. But space-memorabilia collectors have known about the connection for years, specifically the existence of two series of silver "Robbins medallions": The first series included 82 medallions that were struck from a melted-down 1715-Fleet silver ingot and were flown to the moon on Apollo 12 in 1969, and the second series included 177 medallions struck just after the Apollo 15 mission in 1971 from silver that came from another 1715-Fleet silver ingot actually flown aboard Apollo 15. These treasure-silver medallions, which fetch upwards of 5-figure premiums today, were the brainchild of Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad and Jim Rathman, a race car driver who had won the Indianapolis 500 prior to opening a Chevrolet dealership on the space coast, where he provided the hotshot pilots (most notably the Mercury 7 men, among whom was Alan Shepherd, the commander of Apollo 14 mission) with Corvettes. Jim was also in a partnership (known as Doubloon Salvage) with Kip Wagner and the Real Eight Company, who were salvaging the 1715 Fleet at the time. Significantly, the ingot for the Apollo 15 mission (supplied by noted salvager Art Hartmann) was originally supposedly to be a gold ingot, but that was deemed too heavy for the flight. Now, for the first time, we know that Fleet gold DID go to the moon after all in the form of this one coin, which must have been carried among personal items (in a "PPK," or Personal Preference Kit, as explained to us by an expert in NASA memorabilia) by one of the astronauts on Apollo 14 (Alan Shepherd, Stuart Roosa and Ed Mitchell), on the Apollo program's third manned lunar landing (and of course the first after the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission), then engraved with the memorial and probably given to that astronaut's wife to wear in jewelry. The coin itself is a fairly typical Fleet 1E, with bold full oXMJ, nearly full but off-center shield and cross, much legend, XF or so for wear, a unique item with crossover interest in two hot and fascinating fields! From the 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida. Estimate: $3,000-up.

Description
Lot# 8 Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1708H, from the 1715 Fleet. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1708H, from the 1715 Fleet. S-L25a; KM-38.1; CT-18. 26.9 grams. Broad, round flan with full and well-centered cross and pillars, particularly bold waves with sediment in crevices, much legend, practically no doubling, VF with minor flat areas and lustrous sheen all over from mounting in jewelry. From the 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida. Estimate: $5,000 -$7,500 .
Lot# 9 Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1710H, 2 dates, from the 1715 Fleet, choice. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1710H, 2 dates, from the 1715 Fleet, choice. S-L25a; KM-38.2; CT-21. 26.9 grams. Well-struck Mint State specimen with full and well-detailed cross, bold full pillars, some legend (nearly full king's name and ANO 710, which is rarely seen), full crown, somewhat lustrous, one of the best 1710's we have encountered. From the 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida, with Sedwick photo-certificate from 1998. Estimate: $9,000-$13,500.
Lot# 10 Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1712M, choice specimen from the 1715 Fleet, ex-Frank Sedwick collection, Practical Book of Cobs Plate Coin. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1712M, choice specimen from the 1715 Fleet, ex-Frank Sedwick collection, Practical Book of Cobs Plate Coin. S-L28; KM-38.2; CT-23. 26.8 grams. Frank Sedwick, known to Florida treasure fans as "Dr. Cobs," left a distinguished professorial career to become a full-time coin dealer in the 1980s, and soon carved his niche as the world's expert in cob coins, specializing in gold cobs from the 1715 Fleet. Literally thousands of gold cobs passed through his hands, and, like any self-respecting numismatist, naturally he kept some of the best specimens to study and photograph; but at some point the reason for their being off the market gravitated more toward collector's cupidity. Frank's collection remained intact even after his unexpected death in 1996. Now, however, with record prices at auction for coins inferior to Frank's "finest known" specimens, it made no sense to keep these gems off the market any longer. We are sure that Dr. Cobs would enjoy knowing that his coins are appreciated in every sense. This specific coin shows bold legends on a large, round flan, with particularly bold second date 712, choice full crown and pillars-and-waves and cross-lions-castles, lovely butter-yellow gold color faintly tinged with orange, fully Mint State and lustrous, maybe not the finest but certainly among the top five of this common date. From the 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida, and pedigreed to the study collection of Frank Sedwick, with special photo-certificate, also Plate Coin in the second edition of The Practical Book of Cobs (1990). Estimate: $15,000-up.

Nice full cross and pillars, both well centered and perfectly defined except for the last digit of the date (which is slightly doubled), both sides inexplicably fraught with extra dots and more dots where lines should appear, XF for wear and somewhat matte surfaces from salvage, rare provenance that was undoubtedly a private cache hidden on the ship, which was salvaged in its own time. From the Loosdrecht, sunk in 1719 off the south of England, with original certificate from the salvager. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.
Lot# 12 Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1721M. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1721M. S-L28; KM-38.2; CT-34. 26.9 grams. Very broad flan with choice bold cross, full pillars, all well centered and devoid of doubling, lightly polished AXF. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

As stated in lot 10, Dr. Frank Sedwick retained some of the best gold cobs he had ever seen--and he saw thousands--among which this lot is hands-down the highest-grade, choicest bold-strike 4 escudos we know of, with HIGH Mint State details (cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves), not much legend but fully round and evenly struck, aligned obverse/reverse axes, lustrous and of a beautiful yellow color.

Diving to a Flash of Gold was a landmark work about wreck-diving in its heyday, written by one of its most successful participants, whose certificate states he found this coin himself on the Nieves site of the 1715 Fleet in 1966. The caption below this coin in Meylach's book reads "A treasure hunter's dream," which it clearly is, for its strike is bold and full on both sides, well centered on a large ("Lima style") planchet, also with full crown and much legend, including C.II for Charles II and erroneous HISPANIRVM (lacking the A), and beautifully (deeply) toned on all the fields. We have seen only one other Cuzco 2E that was better in overall quality.
