BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer A, Grade 1, ex-Atocha Research Collection, ex-Winn. S-P11; KM-3.2; Cal-371. 6.30 grams. This coin could pass for non-salvage, as it is entirely corrosion-free and even has toning like that of a circulated coin (VF overall), which is no doubt why it was included in the famous Research Collection combined with the choice details (full cross and shield, the former slightly doubled, plus full P-A) that typify this type. Pedigreed to the Atocha Research Collection (coin 118), with special Fisher photo-certificate 85A-236533 and updated Fisher tag and certificate, appraisal letter, and original archive photo, also pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 24 (lot 339), and mentioned in an article by Charlie Winn in the Fall 2020 issue of Maritimes newsletter. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
