[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8192186, member: 110226"]Thanks I was aware that Guatemala produced proper bust coinage back dated to 1808, but wasn't aware that also applies to Potosi. For Potosi, Krause shows both the bust of Charles IV with his legend, as well as the proper bust of Ferdinand VII for the 8 reales of 1808. The Guatemala 8 reales, proper bust is a great rarity. Krause notes that an 1808 NG 8 reales, proper bust, sold for $14,300 in the December 1990 Superior auction.[/QUOTE]
