Message:: [QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2442470, member: 78153"]I have slightly over 50 pillars from four of the mints, excluding Chile and Columbia which are above the price level I collect. About a dozen are "raw" with the balance in NGC or PCGS holders and the grades range from G-6 to MS-65.  Most of them are 1/2R and 1R because the 2R and 4R are much scarcer and more expensive and I have never focused on the 8'S because they are usually a lot more common and also more expensive than most of the coins I own. I don't own any portrait coinage because I don't care for the type much and I also don't own any cobs or Carlos and Joanna either. As for books, Pillars and Portraits I don't own but its the best one I know covering both.  For pillars, I think Gilboy's "The Milled Columnarios of Central and South America" is presumably better because it is a lot more recent (1999).  I bought mine in 2002.[/QUOTE]
