Auction 37 is nearing completion. I've won one 1773 4R cob. Prices are generally very steep. The interest in pirate-y stuff is strong, not just for cobs but for plates, cups and pulleys from shipwrecks.

Astonishing to see a decorative cob pendant estimated at $200 sell for $2600.

He indeed does very well with jewelry pieces! And even Heritage's new competing "shipwreck" auctions (the latest of which is Mon 5/12) have seen similar results with such pieces.

I didn't watch the entire auction... one thing that surprised me as being a tad not insane were 1715 Fleet cob 8E.

But in general, Spanish Colonial and Latin American, which is of course heavily overlapped with shipwreck/treasure/pirate genres, has only gotten stronger and stronger through recent years. This is true for the bottom of the market through the top.
