Large silver bar #604, 87 lb 2.3 oz troy, 2380/2400 fine, Class Factor 0.8. 40 x 14.5 x 7.5 cm. Very curious ingot with deep bubble holes in top surface and erased markings of previous owners/shippers, also with exceptionally bold markings, consisting of manifest number LXXI, owner/shipper's mark *A, fineness IIUCCCLXXX, tax stamps and at least the cartouches for the mine and date. Interestingly, this bar at first seems to lack an obvious assayer's bite, but on one side end there is what appears to be cylindrical bite (as seen on Oruro bars) that was plugged and hammered flat (the sides and bottom of the bar more rounded than most), and one of the large bubbles on top was actually a "double-scoop" bite that hit a void. With Fisher photo-certificate #604. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
