You mention you have a local coin/jewelry dealer. My recommendation would be to take the round in and see what they think. That would probably...
It seems most if not all of your questions are predicated on an assumption that the coins must first be conserved, cleaned, sorted, and...
There might not have been a market for 100 tons of shipwreck silver, but it would have been easy money to take 1-10 tons of the best looking stuff...
