My 2004 krause book has the mintage for the 1924 Sol that was struck in Lima, but it is blank where the mintages for the philadelphia coins should be. They don't both have the same mintage, do they? Does anyone know the mintage of this coin? Thanks rexesq __________________ 'Authorities say the phony Pope can be recognized by his high-top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth.'   04-06-2007, 04:28 PM   #2 (permalink) Colectus Coinus Junior Member     Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Toonerville Posts: 24 Hi, I'm having the same problem with an 1869 sol. I'm in Santiago now and don't have any coin books with me. Could you take a quick look in your guide to see how many 1869 sols were minted and if it is a low mintage? Also, what might ones in F and VF condition be worth? I may be able to find out the answer to your question from a South American collector down here! Also, my friend speaks Spanish and may be able to get info from Spanish language websites from Peru.   04-06-2007, 04:30 PM   #3 (permalink) rexesq Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Sonoran Desert Posts: 211 My Mood: I wish I could help you, but the only book I have only goes back to 1901.

And even though all coins from both mints have the Lima mint mark, the Philly coins can be distinguished because the letters of the legends are smaller than those actually struck in Lima. As for the 1869 sol, there are many varieties, 3 main ones. They are all worth about the same, $6 - $7 in F VF and $30 - $40 in Unc. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   04-06-2007, 09:34 PM   #5 (permalink) rexesq Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Sonoran Desert Posts: 211 My Mood: I know this is off-topic, but while we're at it...do you happen to know the mintage of the 1891 straits settlements 10 cents ? __________________ 'Authorities say the phony Pope can be recognized by his high-top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth.'   04-06-2007, 10:04 PM   #6 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,528 1,380,000 __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
