That is an amazing collection. I have always liked the Spanish colonial c/m issues for the Caribbean. I only have this one: Lima 1 real 1757...
Thanks, everybody. Just curious about it since I don't know how to grade these. Pretty coin, though, and it did not set me back a lot (just 8...
Thanks! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I love the look of happiness on the boy's face (your son?) Worth a million:).
VF 20 and nice!
Thank you very much, NSP. I really appreciate it! I don't actively collect CBQ's so my knowledge in this area is thin. I have learnt something...

no, the circular dark spot, just below the point of the bust ?????
I do not rely on Krause for valuations and/or estimations of number of examples extant. In my experience it too general, or outdated. For the...
Just a nice mid-date large cent. Not scarce, or even close, but the look that I look for. 1820, N10. :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That is a harsh indictment on a perfectly nice and attractive coin. And, a reflection to myself: isn't it a pity that many people's enjoyment of...
Nice coin! A/E, correct? Incredible colours.
A tough choice, my friend. An 1818 N-10 (R-1) for two scarce european coppers.... I am happy that you are happy. Let's put it that way:).
