Well this nice old Mexican 8 realies showed up yesterday. Its a nice heavy one from the mint in Culican. This is located right across the Sea of Cortez from Cabo San Lucas. One of the last 8 realies pieces before they went Peso. :yes:
Great looking coin! That's my favorite coin design, and I'm hoping to find an un peso with the liberty cap and rays at the next show I go to. Currently I have a 1895 one, and my local coin shop has a few more which are on my to-buy list (between $30 and $65). Thanks for sharing!
Thanks guys. I do have a rather nice Mexican collection. Here is a link to my private Mexicans. https://picasaweb.google.com/Ripley44mag/Mexico#
Nice collection of Mexican Money, I also like em, I have about a dozen spots left in my 20th century type set, not including the gold coins, the 50 Peso centenario is pretty pricey
Well another addition to my Mexican collection arrived today. Its a nice old 1844 guaniquito mint 8 realies. Its not my oldest Mexican coin, but it is my oldest 8 realie. I am kinda stoked about it. :smurfy:
Wow, would buy them at $9 too. Heck I wish I got into ancient earlier as from what others have told me, they have really gone up within the last 2 years or so.
The past 6 months they have doubled. I got 4 really nicely struck late Romans today in a lot. i will post them, when they arrive in the mail. I just hope, they are as good in hand as in the photo.
Ive acquired a few new ones too but one is gonna take 6 weeks to get here from spain and the other should be here sometime next week. But I am busy the next few weeks so ill post them whenever, lol.
Oh... That is a big seller from Spain. He does a lot of bizznizz on Ebay. I have bought a few from him, but his shipping prices are way out of line.
