This is quite likely salvage from a shipwreck.
In such a case, the 'finder' of the coins would contract with a TPG
to pedigree the find.
The coin is being sold for its history as much as its intrinsic value.
In some ways it would appeal more to an historian than a coin collector.
As for the "Prime Select" designation a guess would be that among all of the coins found this was one of the best.
As the seller also has jewelry, antiques and ceramics it is unlikely that he knows much about coins.
