Sedwick's Treasure and World Coin Auction 14 Features Our Coins.
Dan Sedwick released this info today, as you can imagine we are all excited about this auction.
"We are excited to present the largest-ever offering of the first silver coins of Santo Domingo under Charles and Joanna (1542-1552). Surpassing the famous Ray Byrne sale (Jess Peters, June 1975), this 10-coin offering consists of three 4 reales, five 2 reales, one 1 real and one 1/2 real, every one a different variety and in nearly fully readable condition despite generally light corrosion as from a wreck off the Dominican Republic. While highly important from a numismatic standpoint, these coins are in fact the highlight of our offering of the Global Marine Exploration finds in our Treasure, World and U.S. Coin Auction #14, taking place LIVE in Orlando, FL, October 30, 2013."
The Santo Domingo mint coins and the bronze cannon on the cover are our recoveries, along with a variety of several hundred other artifacts. Make plans now to attend, this will be the first time Sedwick's has live floor bidding in conjunction with live online bidding!
