<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldenPirate, post: 3445123, member: 101579&quot;]First of all, I want to say that this is a great thread with lots of information and nice coins. Early Latin American coinage is exceptional with a lot of history behind. I have created a thread weeks ago, sharing 2 great coins that are for sale on Heritage Auctions. One very rare 1/4 Real from Colombia dated 1832 (NGC MS63), and the other one 8 Reales from La Rioja Argentina, graded NGC MS63 as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]914698[/ATTACH]</p><p>In my opinion, this 1832 Popayan Colombia 1/4 Real NGC-63 is the finest known I have ever seen, even in better condition than the other example sold by Heritage for $10,575 USD in 2014. Although not attributed on the NGC holder, this coin has a spectacular and obvious overdate 2/7. Recently, I had the opportunity to look at this coin on a video uploaded by a blogger, it has full mint luster and probably a 64 if regraded. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]914700[/ATTACH] </p><p>The second coin, is a popular coin from Argentina. 1838 La Rioja Argentina 8 Reales NGC MS63, this coins are usually offered with dark patina, but this one shows full mint luster as shown in the photo. As mentioned on my thread, this coins are rarely offered at mint state level; I have seen another 63 sold years ago, but not as beautiful as this one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Early Latin American coins are exceptional with incredible rarities. Another coin I saw for sale in this coming auction is a 1834 Ecuador Escudo graded NGC MS64, being the finest known. It is an nice coin although the weak strike at some points, but overall a numismatic jewel. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep sharing coins and information in this thread, it has been a pleasure reading all of the comments and gaining knowledge from them. Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
