Collection of 39 different Washington quarter in a Capital Plastics holder
Quarter Dollars-Washington
A dazzling display of cartwheeling luster aptly describes this nearly complete run of Washington quarters from 1932 through 1947. Only three issues are missing and those are the three keys which includes the 1932-D, the 1932-S, and the 1936-D. Nothing but uncirculated examples that range in grade from MS-61 through MS-65 are spotted within this Capital plastics display board short set. While the ‘keys” may be missing there are still several tougher examples present. This could make a tremendous jump start to anyone attempting to put together an entirely uncirculated Washington quarter collection (ck).

Lot #278 - Atocha Gold Bar, 790 grams
Hammer: $68,500
Collector Lots-Bars
Treasures that descended to the bottom of the ocean near Key West in 1622 on the Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha included numerous coins, but also precious metal stock being taken to Spain for further processing. Gold and silver bars featured stamps symbolic of the King of Spain -- PHILIPPVS III and fineness stamped in Roman numerals -- XXI, or 21-karat gold fineness in this instance. Foundry/assayer SARGOSA PECARTA has been strongly stamped near the narrower end.
In the interest of efficiency, these bars were more or less shaped as elongated rectangles but their dimensions cannot be easily described with precision. For comparative purposes, we measure this example at approximately 8-1/8 inches in length, an inch in width and perhaps a quarter inch in thickness. As required for a recovery item like this, encrustation has been professionally conserved from the surface, yielding handsome bright yellow hue with some encrustation remaining. In addition to contemporary markings, the cataloger calls out a modern inscription near one end: "A 85 45(?)", the final figure being indistinct. The bar weighs 790 grams (27.87 oz.), per Scotsman measurements.
This gold bar obviously represents much more than a mere "souvenir" from the Atocha, given its high intrinsic value, and will be accompanied by the original photo certificate issued by the Fisher Salvage Company in 1985.
