This piece is part of what is referred to as \"Atocha Frag Bag\" pieces. When Atocha sank, the coin would have fallen free of one of the \"chests\" and sat on the bottom of the ocean for over 300 years, with no protection for the harsh environment like coins that still stayed attached to the \"clumps\" or conglomerates of treasure coins, the remains of treasure chests. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(161, 11, 11);\"\u003eThis is from one of our friend's \"Diver's Division,\" who is an \"Atocha Golden Crew\" member.
