On the nose. Was $295 BIN with a best offer option. There were like 13 watchers, I didn't want to risk making an offer and just paid full price. One of my favorites.
I thought for sure I was low. I just shot the gap of a couple other guesses. I'll post a new piece here in a couple minutes I need to hunt down the pics.
I purchased this 8 Reales on eBay a bit more than 5 years ago. It is one of my favorite coins in my collection, with great eye appeal and nice surfaces. From Heritage: XF 45, Jan 2011 -- $245 MS63, Jan 2013 -- $1,057 Krause /Numismedia: XF 40, $175 No values listed in higher grades.
That should be around 1k, I think you got a great deal when you bought it during that time frame and will guess 400
900 Looks like a pq example of a popular world type coin. I would certainly like to have that in my collection!
I just noticed that Carolus III (I guess that's his name) is smiling. Does anyone know of any other coins where the portrait is smiling (or appears to be)? Can I change my guess? A smiling monarch has to be worth a premium in and of itself!
