1598-1621 Bolivia Atocha Shipwreck Phillip III 16.82g PCGS Genuine - Fine Details Saltwater Damage (With COA)
Own a remarkable piece of maritime and numismatic history with this Bolivian 8 Reales silver cob, struck during the reign of King Philip III (1598–1621) and salvaged from the legendary Atocha shipwreck. Certified by PCGS as Genuine, this coin bears the scars of its underwater past, with saltwater damage noted and Fine Details still visible.
Recovered from the depths of the sea, this coin weighs 16.82 grams and exhibits characteristic hand-struck irregularity and partial legibility, typical of cob coinage of the period. The distinctive cross and shield designs remain visible, connecting it directly to Spanish colonial mints, specifically the Potosí Mint in Bolivia.
The Nuestra Señora de Atocha, part of a Spanish treasure fleet, sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida during a hurricane. Its cargo of gold, silver, and precious gems lay undisturbed for over 350 years until its discovery in the 1980s, making Atocha coins highly sought after by collectors and historians alike.
This PCGS-encapsulated coin offers both historical intrigue and numismatic significance—a genuine treasure from one of the most famous shipwrecks in history.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
