8,000 lbs. of gold aboard. A cool ten mil.

I'll give you 12M.

Even with gold @ $1000/oz, 8 x 1000 x 12 = $96,000,000. (if the weight quoted isn't troy, it's even more)

Nusmismatic value will exceed that several times.

The historic value, because it was recovered from the HMS Victory will increase it several times more.
