Saltwater damage means one thing which indicates this coin was in the ocean possibly from a shipwreck. Coins from this era were often found in poor condition or discovered under the sea from a shipwreck. There is no disgnation of which shipwreck this coin was found at but it sure has had its fair share in the ocean to incure saltwater damage. Silver itself can corrode in the ocean and when left in the ocean for years and years it will take damage and start to lose its appearance. This coin is a great addition to a collector or anyone who enjoys coins that have a story such as this 1677-P E 8 Reales Bolivia from the Potosi mint.
