Thanks all. What bothered me are the dentils on the obverse. They seem a bit too sharp/well defined and standing out from the rim. But i guess...
Something just doesn't seem quite right with this coin:...
Eddie, according to the SCWC, the Potosi mint minted 1-real pieces of this type from 1773 until the early 1800's. Your coin look OK to me, just...
Thank you guys, that is quite a spread of grades: VF35-AU58.... Those EAC grades sure are tough! I'll look up the N2 varity (thanks H.T)....
Hmmm..those 3 areas you have chosen to focus on are not exactly run of the mill. The Tesserae in particular are difficult to obtain, as you say,...
What do guys think? Comments on grade and Newcomb variety appreciated! Thanks, Eduard

By the way, i mentioned that i was keen to collect civil-war era coins due to the historic association. However, i remember reading later that...
You guys are right: salt water will not corrode a noble metal like gold. I have a Santiago mint 1750 'Pelucona' (8 escudos coin) salvaged from...
