Grade 3 Atocha Coins

Grade 3 Atocha coins exhibit more severe corrosion and are typically well under weight.  Sometimes one side of the coin will show corrosion while the other side does not, or a portion of the planchet may be totally missing with decent detail on what is remaining.  Often either the mintmark, assayer mark or denomination are still visible.  Atocha coins are supplied with the original photo type Certificate of Authenticity and a booklet "Shipwrecks and Their Coins: Volume 1 - 1622 Spanish Treasure Fleet" that provides details about the fleet and its coins.  Display your Atocha coin and Certificate of Authenticity in our multiple sleeved display folder Mount your Atocha coin in a 14k Gold Bezel.

Grade 3++, excellent cross with all lions and castles visible, nice shield with a visible mintmark P and assayer mark RAL (in monogrammed form) - although the assayer mark is clearly visible, it is not listed on the certificate of authenticity. Coins of this assayer are some of the rarest and most desirable of all Atocha coins, they were struck only in the year 1618.   Better than many grade 2 coins.

Grade 3++, excellent full cross and shield with most elements of both clearly visible, including the mintmark P.    This coin displays very good weight, shows little evidence of salt water corrosion, and has nice metal.  In reality, it is as nice as most grade 1 coins, but offered at a better price.
