That's a great looking set with some nice original skin. I especially love the 1809 - better than average strike on the bust and what looks like...
Thanks, Jaelus. It's been a fun hunt so far! Especially when you get into all the varieties. The Zacatecas error has some controversy around it....

Thanks for the feedback, gents. Other than cleaning nothing is really raising any flags for me in terms of authenticity, but i'll check it once i...
This is the much scarcer inverted MF variety. Cleaned? Sure... But enough to get it bodybagged after a year in a napkin? We'll see ;) None...
Yup - these are both from Mexico Mint. First one is a key date for the armored bust series of Fernando VII (KM# 110, Calbeto# 862). Second one...
A few recent additions to the set: [IMG] [IMG]
This coin spent quite a bit of time raw on display with reverse toning much darker than obverse. NGC certified AU58. $330 will get it to your door...

If you base it purely on PCGS / NGC population counts, this is an R-8 (only one certified between both services). Since a lot of World collectors...
If you weren't able to tell from the images that the $ is fake, the price and the description should have made you run the other way. In...
Probably a blast white dipped out piece, like many low MS 8 Reales I've seen in NGC plastic.
PCGS certified XF45, AU53, and 2 AU55 NGC certified XF45, AU50, AU58, MS63
Recent Stacks win. 8 Reales from Guatemala. This is my first coin from that particular mint, as I specialize in 1772-1821 Mexico, but it had all...
Something from personal experience - if you don't 100% like the coin, you should return it. Very rarely would it "grow on you".
Received this while stationed in Baghdad in 2004: [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks, Ripley. It's been a fun set to work on so far :)
Keep in mind that Cap and Rays were minted in millions. If the date / mint mark is common and the condition if VF or below, I can see one selling...
