ddddd’s Box of 20 Updated (Version 7.0)

Love those 8 Reales.

The Pillar was a long term want and finding that one was very satisfying.
The AU 58 8R was one I lost at Stacks and then won at an eBay auction for less even though I bid more!

 

For those curious, the breakdown of where I got these is as follows:

10 - eBay
7 - Great Collections
2 - Forum members (on CU, one of whom is also on CoinTalk)
1- Stacks

...Notes:
~1 of the eBay purchases I was previously an underbidder for at Stacks
~1 of the eBay purchases I was previously an underbidder for at Great Collections

 

Bonus factoids:

~only one of the 20 was bought raw and sent in to grade (the Kazakhstan Turtle)

~one other was bought in a PCGS details holder, cracked, and sent to PCGS where it got the AU 58 (Isabella)

~two were bought in straight graded holders, cracked, and sent to PCGS for TrueView photos, and a potential upgrade (which did not happen)...the 1961 Quarter went from PCGS MS 65 to PCGS MS 65.....the 1881-S Morgan went from NGC MS 65 to again NGC MS 65 to PCGS MS 65

~the remaining 16 were bought in the holders they currently reside in

 

Just wow. The quality and the diversity are something to be proud of.

 

Thank you!
