MEXICO: Felipe V, 1700-1746, AR 8 reales, 1742-Mo, KM-103, Calico-1461, "Pillar dollar" or "columnario" type, likely recovered from the wreck of the Reijgersdaal, environmental damage, PCGS graded XF details, ex Charles W. Lueders III Collection. The Dutch East Indian Company (VOC) ship Reijgersdaal was lost on October 26, 1747 after striking reefs off the west coast of South Africa. It carried some 8 treasure chests containing about 30,000 coins. Though the few survivors retrieved a partial chest of coins, contemporary salvaging was deemed too dangerous. Modern salvaging started in the late 1970's with thousands of near-pristine Mexican Pillar 8 Reales being recovered.
