Here is a coin that branches my collection into South America. It is a 1907 1/5th sol from Peru, graded MS65 by PCGS.
well the good news is I received my 5 cruzeiros Brasil coin... the bad news is I discovered a hole in my pocket and lost it. argh! it was in my shorts that has regular pokets and pockets with velcro on top of it. I thought no problem it will be ok there. so I went to take back my searched dimes and pennies and discovered the whole when I got home. ugh. I will get that coin again on Ebay but makes me sick having and then loosing it.
Some Portuguese Patterns fabricated by the Brussels Mint (the lion on the shield clearly states its origin). V Reis - 1863 X Reis - 1863 XX Reis - 1863 Really curious this last one is that it has the Roman numerals for 20 Reis but on the reverse it has 2 1/2 Reis.
Hi all. good news. I found another Brasil 5 cruzeiros coin on ebay. this one looks sweet. has 4 days left on the auction. it will be mine.
