1715 PERU 8 ESCUDOS possibly 1715 FLEET PCGS UNC "Double Dated!" PGC
Please see the description of this piece in the gallery photos, "this possible FLEET WRECK." This description was stated by what is perhaps, "THE" most knowledgeable (or at least at the top 3) long time dealers and previous auction owner person in Spanish Colonial Cobs. He is, in my opinion, the "God Father" on these Cobs.
This beautiful UNC. Gold Doubloon "clearly displays Coral / Encrustations," see close up photo of Cross Bars and you will see Coral encrustations throughout within the devices. This validates this gold cobs Ocean Origins.
This piece came from the Salton Collection, which we also recently listed a Colombia 1694 2 Escudos Dated also in a PCGS holder showing it's from the 1715 Fleet (same collection).
There have been many discussions, amongst colleagues, in regard to the elusive 1715 Lima being from the 1715 Fleet wreck. There are several trains of thought and theories. Some say, they don't know of any records of a 1715 Lima coming from a fleet site.
The SMOKING GUN for me is that approx. 14 years ago or so an old Polaroid photo was posted publicly on a website that specifically is dedicated to the 1715 FLEET, showing hundreds if not thousands of pages of original research and documents along with photos.
They say, "A pictures is worth a Thousand words," so please review the Polaroid photo within this listings Gallery pics. You will see the Original polaroid that was discovered within the founding members personal records of Colonel Dan Thompson, founding member of REAL EIGHT Co.
This old polaroid (I believe from the 1960's) clearly shows a LIMA 8 Escudos 1715. Dan also took the photo with several other 1715 Fleet 8 Escudos as well, what looks like to be (4) pieces of 1715's! Again, to me this is the smoking gun. (Please read the article written by Ben Costello (founding member of the 1715 Fleet Society) in the above Gallery photos.
This Gold Doubloon is a spectacular specimen, displaying is "Double Date" Legend date and almost a Full Crown with a full undisturbed dated "715." Displaying "ANO 71" in the legend, clearly and strongly struck. Struck within a very round planchet and a Full Cross (absent of any doubling throughout both the Obverse and reverse). Even the Lions and Castles are strongly struck, even displaying "clear windows" on the Castles and the King's Ordinal (Philipvs V) and DG (by the Grace of God) on the Reverse legends.
Most certainly a Trophy piece for 1715 Collectors.
