GOLD AND SILVER INGOTS FROM SHIPWRECKS
These ingots do not exist in great quantities—typically any given shipwreck will yield all known specimens of a given style of ingot, and with the exception of the thousands of monstrous (80-lb.) loaf-shaped bricks of silver from the Atocha, I have never heard of more than about 200 similar ingots found at once. Compare that to coin rarities, and you will quickly realize that ingots are much rarer than contemporaneous coins, and of course they are almost always more impressive.

1855 S.S Central America Chilean Centavo:

The Spanish colonists and conquerors of Latin America had used the narrow strip of land in Panama as a trade route for centuries transporting huge amounts of silver from their mines and mercantile centers in Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. In the 1850s Latin American Business and government took advantage of the intersection of the American steamship route with their old, established silver trade route. Travelers from the Pacific coastal areas of South America would often take American steamships to New York and then book passage to Europe, their ultimate destination.

When the S.S Central America departed Panama for New York on its fateful voyage in September 1857, it carried ten passengers from Latin America and one Chilean merchant by the name of Pasqual Esquerra. It can be deduced that Pasqual Esquerra had traveled from Panama to New York several times before. Mr. Esquerra traveled in first class on the steamer, so it is known that he was of established wealth and in the upper class of his society. When the treasure of the S.S Central America was discovered, 2,500 silver Chilean half pesos (centavos) coins dating from 1853 ˆ 1856 were recovered, most likely part of the personal fortune of Pasqual Esquerra.
