Silver "tumbaga" bar M-153 (half-cut of a larger bar), uncleaned, 8.95 lb av, marked with fineness iV9 x (1510/2400), assayer B~Vo, and serial RC, ex-"Tumbaga Wreck" (ca. 1528), ex-Frank Sedwick, García-Barneche Plate. 9" x 5¼" x ¾". This bar stands unique among the more than 200 "tumbaga" silver bars found on this wreck in that it was intentionally left unconserved to show the lovely green and orange colors caused by its high copper content (rising up in a section of visibly un-mixed metal that reads as high as 94% copper in XRF tests, elsewhere as low as 20%), also in that it is a half-cut from a larger bar (wide, flat), chiseled and broken in its time with no clue as to whatever happened to the other half (which probably contained the circular tax stamps that are lacking on this piece), and finally in that the "top" surface has many peaks and swirls from cooling before the metal fully melted, indicative of a hasty manufacture "in the field." The other side of the bar has been partially cleaned to reveal some silvery surface and all of the markings in one area near the break, just below a large rusty patch of copper, with a big gas pit to the right of that. The R-series bars with assayer B~Vo like this one are among the most popular, as the assayer-mark is believed to stand for Cortés' assayer Bernardino Vázquez de Tapia. Frank Sedwick handled the majority of the "tumbaga" silver bars from the divers but kept this one for himself, now being sold for the first time by his heirs. From the "Tumbaga Wreck" (ca. 1528), with photo-certificate, pedigreed to the Dr. Frank Sedwick Collection and plated on page 116 of García-Barneche's Tumbaga Saga (2nd ed, 2018).

Large silver ingot 43 from Oruro dated 1622, Class Factor 0.9, 86.2 lb troy, with markings of manifest IUC (1100), fineness IIUCCCLXXX (2380/2400), owners/shippers (some canceled), silvermaster and tax stamps, ex-Atocha (1622). 1½" x 5¼" x 3½". A typical "loaf" of high-grade silver with better than average markings, including (from left to right): V for silvermaster de Vreder above circular tax stamp; Oruro mine cartouche with visible date 1622 (mentioned on the certificate) above large MB monogram (owner/shipper Muñibe, per manifest); IUC manifest number above the usual fineness IIU C C C L X X X; second circular tax stamp above a crossed-out owner/shipper mark oA; and another crossed-out owner/shipper mark TR (large).

Small silver "splash" ingot, 119.5 grams, no markings (probably contraband), ex-Concepción (1641). About 2" in diameter and up to ¼" thick. Dark disk with smooth top but the bottom loaded with gas bubbles and pits, some filled with white encrustation (as found), no markings but surely traded around in its time as the equivalent of four and a half 8 reales, XRF-tested at around 84%-92% silver with 4% platinum and 4%-11% lead. From the Concepción (1641), with Sedwick photo-certificate from 2019.

Medium-sized silver ingot, 164 troy oz, marked with fineness XXIII-I (XRF-tested at 95% fine) and owner/shipper diamond-topped R, ex-Maravillas (1656). 7½" x 4" x 2". Ingots from this popular shipwreck are rarely seen, and the most desirable are the ones with original pedigrees like this one, traced to the first finds by Robert Marx in 1972. On the top of this piece are just three markings: an owner/shipper mark (diamond-topped R), two hash marks (meaning unknown), and a series of engraved Roman numerals X X III - I, corresponding to about 23/24 fineness, the rounded bottom featureless (but with three small drill holes as previously mounted in a large framed display along with the accompanying catalog and plaque), all minimally pitted and well conserved. From the Maravillas (1656), pedigreed to the Schulman auction of December 1974, lot A63, with original catalog and custom plaque about the wreck and salvage.

Poured silver "strap" broken into three pieces in its time, 128.32 grams total, about 98% fine, ex-1715 Fleet, ex-Rutherford, 1715 Fleet Society Plate. 128.18 grams total. Total about 4" x 2" and 1/8" thick. Evidence indicates that the "blanks" for Mexican cobs of the late 1600s and early 1700s were cut from "straps" of silver (see https://legacy.sedwickcoins.com/articles/strap.htm) that contained a preset amount of metal (in the correct fineness) that could be mathematically divided more or less evenly. These "straps" are virtually non-existent today. In this case, however, a small silver "strap" was broken into three unequal parts ranging from 41 to 46 grams each, corresponding to around one and a half 8 reales each. The breaks, while worn, are clearly discernible and match up well, and the surfaces are not overly corroded (just darkly toned), so we surmise this "strap" was of incorrect weight for coin use and therefore broken into "plata corriente" pieces instead (perhaps as contraband). From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to the S.P. Rutherford Collection and Sedwick Auction 20, with original lot-tag 216, and plated on page 15 of the 1715 Fleet Society's book Treasures of a Lost Fleet II (2022). SOLD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE 1715 FLEET SOCIETY.

Bright and silvery from cleaning, with pristine markings very deeply impressed, even with luster inside the assayer-stamp, one end typically unfinished with fine-tune chiselings around a very small pit of brown encrustation, with all-original certification and just as nice as they come. From the Rooswijk (1739), with original plastic tag and certificate RK04A0236 from the salvors.

Choice full markings crammed near one end of the bar, the other end typically chiseled around a very deep pit containing encrustation, all surfaces very smooth with only minor pitting on the marked side. Pedigreed to the Rooswijk (1739), with original certificate RK04A0388 from the salvors.

Modern silver ingot, 10 troy ounces.999 fine, serial number SMI001363-00, made from silver recovered from the S.S. Gairsoppa shipwreck (sunk in 1941). 3½" x 2" x ¼". Bright silver ingot cast with weight and wreck logo and vignette (both sides), created from melted-down silver from one of thousands of 1000-oz+ original ingots recovered from this wreck in 2012-2013, comprising over 100 tons of silver cargo on its way to England from India when the ship was torpedoed during World War II.

Small silver "plata corriente" piece with partial tax stamp from the early 1500s, 11.67 grams, about 91% fine, found in New Mexico ca. 1985 (very rare provenance). Approx. 1" x ½". Triangular "edge piece" of a "splash" ingot with very deep partial tax stamp showing (G)RAT(IA) in legend, dark but uncorroded, XRF tested at about 91% silver with 5% iridium, 1% lead, and 1% iron. According to the accompanying letters, this typical "plata corriente" piece (used for money before coins were available in quantity in the colonies) was found at the site of the Santiago Pueblo in the Rio Grande River valley near Bernalillo, New Mexico, by amateur archeologist Dee D. Brecheisen in the mid-1980s. Santiago Pueblo was an indigenous community visited by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, destroyed in the process but resettled later that century. Coronado was searching for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold, but instead encountered a dozen villages, or pueblos, like this one, peopled by Tiwa-speaking natives, which became known generally as Pueblo Indians. Brecheisen's recoveries at the site included three pieces of "plata corriente" (including this one) and other Spanish items from the early to mid-1500s. With letter from the consignor and provenance statement from the finder's son.

Small silver "plata corriente" cut piece with partial tax stamp from the early to mid-1500s, 10.96 grams, about 96% fine. Roughly 5/8" x ½" x ¼". Thick little chunk of silver, crudely broken from the interior of a "splash" ingot and stamped on one side with a circular seal showing legend letters TOR (probably from the same CAROLVS IMPERATOR seen on "tumbaga" silver ingots, in reference to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor), with minimal oxidation on surfaces, toning around details, and brownish encrustation in crevices, XRF tested at about 96% silver with 2% lead. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 26, with original lot-tag 101.

Small Chinese silver tael customs ingot, Wukao Dabing, ca. 19th century, 36.00 grams, about 95% fine. BMC Class LXXX; cf. Zhong Guo Li Shi Yin Ding, p. 85 no. 262. 36.00 grams. Up to 1½" in diameter and 1/8" thick. Crude single casting with uneven metal flow and a slightly concave pancake form, bearing one official stamp reading "Guan" in center, with typical casting flaws and circulation wear and a rich, even gray patina, XRF-tested at about 95% silver, with 1% iron and 2% lead and 0.5% gold. Little ingots like these were cast to a regulated fineness and used for the payment of customs duties at official checkpoints known as Guans along major waterways and land routes. Raw silver was purchased directly from furnace workshops and then recast into this form specifically for tariff payments. A scarce and evocative example of Qing period fiscal silver.

Large copper ingot with encrustation, 59 lb, ex-Atocha (1622), ex-Auerbach. 15" x 9" x 3". Unusually rectangular but still typically crude, the flattish top almost completely encrusted in white-and-green encrustation that extends to the rough and rounded bottom in a few places, the metal surface itself dark brown with spots of orange, an impressively large item from this popular shipwreck. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher plastic tag and photo-certificate 85A-C057, pedigreed to the Stuart Auerbach collection (Sedwick Auction 25, with original lot-tag 221).

BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1702 Y, housed in original frame with certificate, very rare provenance. S-P43a; KM-31; Cal-1536. 21¾" x 13½" (frame). Fairly clear date and pillars-and-waves (other side not on view) with light toning and no visible corrosion, elegantly framed with its original certificate and postcard showing an engraving of the ship as from a presentation to investors in 1987 that proposed to turn the Whydah museum into a Florida theme park. One of the more important numismatic aspects of the famous Whydah finds is the fact that a relatively large amount of cobs from Lima and Potosí were recovered, perhaps explaining the relative paucity of those coins found from the 1715 Fleet in our time—in other words, the majority of those coins were taken off the Fleet wrecks by pirates and ended up with Bellamy on the Whydah! As with all the coins selected for these displays, the original certificate mistakenly calls the mint "Mexico"; we have left the display intact, however, as a relic of the investment scheme that indirectly brought otherwise unobtainable Whydah coins to market in recent years. Framed with original Maritime / Betts & Bernstein certificate 30411 signed by Barry Clifford. Recovered from: Whydah, sunk in 1717 off Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

MEXICO, Zacatecas, cap-and-rays 8 reales, date not visible, assayer OM (1831-38), rare provenance, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SB Pulaski Shipwreck Label). KM-377.13. SB Pulaski shipwreck coins are among the earliest and rarest of all U.S. shipwreck recoveries. The steam packet Pulaski, carrying 187 passengers and crew, left the port of Charleston, South Carolina on June 14, 1838, bound for Baltimore, Maryland. Around 11 PM that night, off the coast of North Carolina, the starboard boiler exploded. Some were killed in the blast, others were lost as the ship quickly went down; around 59 survivors were saved. Unlike the other larger U.S. shipwreck recoveries, where big quantities of coins from commercial shipments were recovered, coins from the Steamboat Pulaski were wholly passenger and crew "pocket change." The find uncovered Mint State U.S. gold coins, a number of U.S. silver coins (mostly half dollars), and many foreign coins that were U.S. legal tender at the time, like this one. This AU piece still bears significant luster and details throughout, though the date is weakly struck; die details point to 1835 as the most likely date. Only faint traces of saltwater corrosion, particularly around the rims, show off its time at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Recovered from: S.B.

UNITED STATES, mints uncertain, clump of six seated Liberty half dollars, dates not visible (one 1861-O Confederate-struck with Speared Olive Bud variety), very rare. 75.32 grams total. Uncleaned clumps from the SS Republic are already rare but this particular clump offers up something special: One of the end coins on this leaning stack shows a distinctive speared olive bud reverse which is only seen on the 1861-O halves struck by the Confederate States! While dark and encrusted, that coin's sharp design details show through just enough to identify it as a Confederate-struck half minted in March or April of 1861. We've offered a few clumps from the SS Republic over the years but this is a first to have one that has a clear Confederate half included. The other coins in the stack are tightly stuck together with the other end-coin also showing its reverse though it bears a bit more encrustation and rust spots. Excellent opportunity for the serious SS Republic collector. With certificate. Recovered from: S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia
