I’ve been looking for a nice later date large cent for quite a while and finally decided to go all out and pull the trigger on this MS64. I...
I’m not an expert on pricing but $65 for a problem free 4 reales sounds like a steal. I don’t see that denomination come up very often on the...
This. The retail prices for individual coins in price guides are partly a reflection of the work required for dealers to evaluate, price and...
I prefer older 8 reales but agree that the 1887 is off the charts.
You sure know how to pick them! The Isabella has been on my bucket list for quite a while and I doubt I’ll ever find one as nice as yours. The...
