Massive lot of 75 Spanish and Spanish colonial bust 8R dated 1775-1812. 1884 grams total. A wide range of types and mints and dates, and also a mix of qualities, some lightly corroded and others near pristine, some darkly toned and others brightly cleaned; in short, a whole bagful of eminently marketable coins for the reseller. (Note: These coins were consigned as simply being from a wreck off Cadiz. In the past we have offered coins from the same wreck and pegged it to ca. 1810 based on the coin dates. Other coins from this wreck, however, were certified as being from an 1828 wreck named Black Joke, but we could never find any substantiation for that attribution, especially since the coin dates did not make sense for something that late. With this new lot, dated up to and including 1812, the Black Joke theory becomes slightly more viable.) From: Unidentified early-1800s wreck off Cadiz, Spain
