About 35 years ago in 1987, a young Archeologist started collecting ATOCHA Silver Shipwreck coins, many were from the Mel Fisher’s Museum, as well as from another prominent commercial co. that purchased from the Fisher’s as well. In the years to come, after searching the country over, he amassed over 500 pieces, of which most were premium coins cherry picked from Mel Fisher himself. In addition, to the Atocha silver coins, there were also some Gold Coins from the 1715 Fleet Shipwreck. Decades later he decided to part with this portion of his collection in order to fuel other related areas and artifacts. At this time, in 2005, he allowed a dealer to come and pick up this collection in order to sell the precious cargo.
The dealer was supposed to report back on the sales and deliver checks periodically. This is when “The Great Heist of the Lost Loot” occurs. After countless efforts to contact the dealer (salesman), finally, he got him on the phone only to hear that the dealer said that he had shipped him all the coins, no signature required, no insurance, no tracking. This of course was very unusual, as the dealer previously was driving to the Collector’s (seller’s) home many times by this point and lived nearby. Never had they discussed him shipping the coins (why would he, as he lived so close). Not only that, it was the wrong method of shipping all together (it had been mailed through Mail Boxes Etc’ label on the package) Of course, an advanced investigation into the post office (with the chief postal inspector for the southern district) was in effect as well. Since many times in the past employees at the post office have missing boxes. Video footage was checked by the owner of the Mail box etc.. location in order to confirm the package was dropped off, it had been shipped.
The video footage confirmed that the MB employee had not tampered with the package in any way, which checked out, but the box was tampered with when handed in. The clerk also mentioned to the sender that it’s unusual to ship a box for ,000 value with No insurance or signature confirmation upon receival. Of course, the seller filed claims with the Post Office, Mail box etc.., and insurance company. All to no end, no financial recovery ever panned out.
At this point, the collector had hired a Private Investigator, who worked the case for over Half a Year. He was able to recover these pieces that now make up the Lost Loot Collection. During this investigation the thief actually becomes highly agitated with investigators and the seller. So much so, the seller, (knowing this thief knows where he lives) feared for his and his family’s safety decides to sleep on the couch in the front entry way with a fully loaded shot gun.
One of the Original Atocha 1622 Shipwreck Marine archeologists, James Sinclair, has re-certified these special 68 recovered Shipwreck Treasure pieces. James Sinclair served as the Marine Archaeologist and Chief Conservator for the 1622 Atocha & Margarita, 1715 Fleet, Titanic, S.S. Central America, RMS Lusitania, as well as many other Shipwrecks! These very unique and special pieces of the Lost Loot Collection are now safely offered in the open marketplace with Pirate Gold Coins for all to have a piece of not only Shipwreck History, but of “The Great Heist of Lost Loot!”
