This one has me a bit stumped. It has a nice bust with decent detail, while the reverse seems weaker specially on the wings. My opinion is this...
1819 n-2
Thank you again, Ardatirion. That was very kind. Regards, Eduard
Hi John, I am using the AKS catalogue - 2012 Edition: Grosser Deutscher Münzkatalog. The bible for German States Coinage 1800-to date. For this...
Mike, thanks for your comments. I am sure I speak for a few others when I say that your experience with early copper is educational to many,...
This is a escudo dated 1838, with the popular 'Hand on Book' design (the book of the chilean constitution). A nice coin with luster. Likewise...
You have some very nice coins there, Gallienus. I did not buy anything at the Millenia Sales - they had some incredible Chilean and other coins....
Hi Derick, I grade them as follows: - Chile 1813: VF 30 maybe a bit higher (few light scratches at bust) - Potosi 1825: VF 25 - Potosi 1808: VF...
Thank you for your comment Mike. I like your 1816 N-5. Where exactly are you seeing the corrosion, though? I see at most some verdigris (or...
I'm afraid so - that is the only one I have a picture off. It's a real hassle to go to the bank and retrieve them to take pictures.
Here is one of my 1816's.
John, those were normally struck w/o a date, according to my catalogue. It does not look like a fake. It is a common coin. Should weigh 18.52 gr....
Don't know about Eliasberg or Clapp, but I do own a couple of the Norweb coins which I bought during the 1988 auctions. I have to admit that it...
That is a nice 8 Escudos, Gallienus. And you are correct, at one time these were priced at Bullion Value for the lower grades, IRRESPECTIVE of the...
Pity you were not able to persuade your wife. 2,000,000 pesos works out to about $ 4000 (?). That is about 5 times more than I paid for mine, but...
Another coin from Chile. This one a peso dated 1817 of the volcano type, but without assayers initials, and with the 'Y' positioned directly above...
Ah, the Woytek book - that book is often cited in the german forums.
I am sorry to hear that, and you are right - that is one reason why I mostly stopped buying chilean colonial or republican issues over the last...
Here some chilean minors: a 1792 cuartilla (1/4 real), and a 1834 half real. Nice to see some interest in Latin American coinage in the forum....
Unfortunately not, at least not without having to get a second mortgage on the house. Santiago 8 Reales columnarios have become just too...
