<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8380047, member: 110226&quot;]There&#039;s one good general guide of hammer struck Spanish colonial coins. It is <i><b>The Practical book of Cobs</b></i>, by Daniel and Frank Sedwick.&nbsp; This book is designed for the beginner, and it provides a thorough description of the mints, assayers and ship wrecks that have yielded vast quantities of these coins over the past several decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sedwick and other sellers have this book for sale on eBay and elsewhere. The latest release is the fourth edition.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/NzkAAOSwI79hgcvF/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are more specialized references for Spanish colonial coinage, including milled coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned by other posts, Krause Publications has a price guide just for Spanish and Portuguese coinage, colonial and mainland.&nbsp; This is the <i><b>Standard catalog of world coins, Spain, Portugal and the New World</b></i>.&nbsp; As with other Krause catalogs, the prices for the grades listed tend to be out of date, but they do provide a general guide of rarity based on type, mint, date and grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked eBay, and there are some sellers offering this reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think these two references will give you a good basis and introduction to collecting these fascinating and historical coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
