PERU 1718-M 8 ESCUDOS KM38.2 26.9 Grams KING FELIPE Vth GOLD COB DOUBLOON (PIECES OF EIGHT) "NGC 53 – ONLY PIECE EVER CERTIFIED BY NGC!!!" THIS BEAUTIFUL HONEY TONED LUSTROUS PIECE HAS PERFECT OBVERSE CENTERING WITH ASTOUNDING DEEP STRIKE AND DETAILS ~ INCLUDING THE "SECOND DATE," WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE READABLE SECOND DATE PIECES I'VE EVER SEEN~! THERE'S NO DOUBLE STRIKE ON THE OBVERSE OR REVERSE!!! THE REVERSE HAS INCREDIBLE RIGHT LEGENDS (KINGS NAME) AND A VERY VERY BOLD CROSS (THICK AND STRAIGHT AXIS WITH NO DOUBLING!), VERY RARELY SEEN ON PIECES OF EIGHT!
THROUGH ALL OF OUR RESEARCH WE COULD FIND ONLY ONE OTHER PIECE (FOR 1718) AND IT WAS CLEANED AND PREVIOUSLY MOUNTED, LEAVING THIS EXACT PIECE TO PROBABLY BE THE ONLY PIECE CERTIFIED AND GRADED THROUGHOUT THE AGES!
THIS PIECE IS IN ALL LIKELY HOOD IS FROM THE 1719 SHIPWRECK OF "LOOSDRECHT (OFF THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND!" THE SHIP WAS BUILT IN 1714 AT AMERSTERDAM BY THE VERENIGDE (CREW 212) WAS LOST OFF THE ISLE OF WIGHT. THE VESSEL CONTAINED ALL PERUVIAN GOLD COINS. A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PROCURE AN "ONLY KNOWN CERTIFIED PIECE!!!"
THE SHIPWRECK OF 1719 OFF THE "ISLE OF WIGHT" VESSLE VOC MERCHANTMAN LOOSDRECHT WAS A VERY VERY SMALL DISCOVERY OF LIMA ONZAS DATING 1715-1717 (AND A COUPLE OTHERS). THIS CARGO TRANSPORT SHIP SUNK OFF THE COAST OF ENGLAND (LITERALLY IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL) AND WAS BUILT IN 1714 IN AMERSTERDAM BY THE VERENIGDE. THE CREW OF 212 WAS LOST, AS WELL AS HER BOOTY OF PERUVIAN GOLD COINS. THIS PIECE STILL CONTAINS SOME SEDIMENT AND ENCRUSTATIONS WITHIN ITS DEVICES, CLEARLY SEEN UPON INSPECTION, HENCE THE PROVINCE OF THE 1719 SHIPWRECK!
THE FAMED PIRATE "BLACK BEARD" WAS REALLY NEARING HIS PEAK IN THIS YEAR (1716) AT THE TIME THIS GOLD DOUBLOON WAS HAND STRUCK! BLACKBEARD MAINLAND (AS WITH MOST PIRATES) WAS NASSAU (ISLAND OF PROVIDENCE). WHEN HE RAIDED AND TOOK OVER THE CONCORD (THAT HE RENAMED "QUEEN ANNE'S REVENGE) AND LATER RAN IT AGROUND, INTENTIONALLY. HE DID THIS TO ABANDON OVER HALF HIS CREW (TOTAL CREW WAS ABOUT 300-400) AS TO NOT HAVE TO DIVIDE UP HIS TREASURE INTO TOO MANY SHARES. THIS WAS IN 1718 AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER HE DIED, OF COURSE WAS BEHEADED BY ROBERT MAYNARD (ROYAL CAPTAIN) IN NOV. 22ND 1718 OFF THE COAST OF SO. CAROLINA.
ALSO, THE PRIVATEER / TURNED PIRATE "HENRY JENNINGS" AND HIS CREW OF 300 SAILED OVER FROM JAMICA (Palmer de Ayes) TO THE SHORES OF FLORIDA WHERE 350,000 SILVER COBS WERE LIGHTLY GUARDED (60 GUARDS) IN A SMALL MAKESHIFT HUT BY THE SPANISH (WHO SALVAGED FROM THE 1715 PLATE FLEET SHIPS) AND CHASED THEM INTO THE JUNGLE AND PILLAGED ALL THE PIECES OF SILVER, WHICH EQUATED TO OVER 10 YEARS SALARY FOR EACH PIRATE).
