Large silver bar #176, Class Factor 0.8, 84 lb 0 oz troy. 15-1/2" x 5-1/2" x 3-1/2". A much more neatly cast bar than normal, with relatively clear markings, including manifest number DCLXXIII (very bold), corroded fineness IIUCCCLXXX (2380/2400), owner's "sigla" AS in monogram (Salgado), silvermaster's mark V (de Vreder), several tax stamps and unclear assayer and foundry/date cartouches, plus a cylindrical assayer's "bite" at one end (hence manufactured in Oruro, which is scarcer), all lightly toned with somewhat bubbly texture from corrosion. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate #176.
