Lot #288 - 1920 U.S. Philippines Woodrow Wilson Bronze Medal PCGS MS-63BN
Collector Lots-Medals
Ga Ha Ha Consignment. HK-450, R.4 in bronze. Mintage figures are difficult to understand, even given the initial production of 3700 pieces, since it has long been rumored that hundreds were lost after having been disposed of in Manila Bay. For the enthusiast used to the way bronze reacts with environmental effects, this is one outstanding beauty is it unquestionably glows with olive-gold and brown aspects. An above-average example boasting a noticeably better strike than average.

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.
