I tried that for years: no luck. I was in high school and rode a bicycle and went to coin shows but all the old dealers just would cheat me out...
Congrats on the coins: particularly the 1804 1/2 C. Sorry to hear of the Covid. Perhaps you should've bought a Plague-Dollar instead/ also? I...
Very nice. I take the "C-8" means it's an 8" reflector? I myself like scuba diving and also go the gym for weight-lifting regularly. Also...

I have to dig up my book on The Unreal Reales: Counterfeit 8 Reales to look at more pix. At least I wasn't able to see anything in your 1810...
