    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Picked up this little beauty last week, and it arrived yesterday. One of my last purchases of 2016, this coin is a worthy addition to my collection. Guess the Grade, and post any of your own!

    That is pretty. Even though I have your book, I have yet to read it. I do see a nice die crack 6-7oclock reverse. If i had to guess, 64? Great photos!

    Have to admit that I'm confused by the scratches. Might need it in hand to really grade it.

    Those are definitely not scratches, textbook die polish lines :)

    I thought they looked like die polish lines but I wasn't really trusting the images.

    A nice proof-like example of the 1819 2 reales. I would say MS 64 to MS 65 PL.

    Unfortunately I do not have any Fernando VII issues for Guatemala to post as my main focus is Santiago.

    You guys are right on the money - NGC 64 PL. Good job.

    And yeah, these are definitely die polish lines. Compare that 2 reales with the 1 reale that I've had for a while (also graded 64PL):
