Clump of two Spanish colonial bust 8 reales of Charles IV, one with 1807 date visible and the other with Guatemala mintmark visible, ex-Frank Sedwick (1989). 51.0 grams. Basically a shipwreck piedfort, of sorts, as the top coin shows the obverse and the bottom coin shows the reverse, tightly fused together with greenish encrustation, the details on both coins clear but dark, with corrosion around the rims. With copy of Frank Sedwick Price List of November 1989 in which this piece was offered and sold for $150. Recovered from: Unidentified early 1800s wreck in the Florida Keys
