<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FreakyGsMom, post: 555299, member: 17127&quot;]It seems like a good price.&nbsp; I wonder if it&#039;s from the El Cazador shipwreck. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If it is that great because that shipwreck has a pretty cool story.&nbsp; Here is a link that I found when I bought my 8 reale from the El Cazador</p><p><a href="http://www.elcazador.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.elcazador.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elcazador.com/</a></p><p>I found a set with a 1783 MO NGC Certified El Cazador 8 reale, 1922 NGC BU Peace Dollar, 1884-O NGC BU Morgan and a 1974 NGC BU Ike dollar in it and bought it in January for about $140 with shipping.&nbsp; I like the shipwreck coin the best and bought the set just for the it.&nbsp; The other 3 coins were just a bonus for G.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; When we went to the FUN show in January a dealer had an 8 reale similar to the one I bought in the set.&nbsp; It was also NGC, same year, same mint mark but not as nice in hand as mine and he was asking $300 just for that one coin.&nbsp; G said we could do much better price wise, so I waited and it paid off. :high5:</p><p>This is a link to the set I bought. </p><p><a href="http://www.franklinmint.com/product1.aspx?SID=2&amp;Product_ID=9546" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.franklinmint.com/product1.aspx?SID=2&amp;Product_ID=9546" rel="nofollow">http://www.franklinmint.com/product1.aspx?SID=2&amp;Product_ID=9546</a></p><p>&nbsp;It&#039;s one of those Franklin Mint things and I never would have paid their price or bought directly from them, but we paid less than 1/2 than the price they&#039;re asking so I&#039;m happy with what we got and what we paid.&nbsp; :thumb:&nbsp; We&#039;ve got another 8 reale, but it was &quot;harshly cleaned&quot; and we weren&#039;t aware of that when we bought it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It&#039;s too bad because it&#039;s a nice coin, but in hand it looks dull and doesn&#039;t look as nice as my shipwreck coin.&nbsp; I really want one of the pillar dollars from Peru next.&nbsp; I like those too and I would like to find a certified shipwreck one in good shape.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
