    What exactly is it that you are calling dos mundos ? Are you referring to the Spanish colonial 8 reales coins of 1733 & 1734 ?

    Yes, I think so. In Spanish the term "Dos Mundos" seems to be somewhat more common when referring to the two worlds or globes design. See the second (Spanish) part of this page http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Mexico_1732-Mo_F_8_reales for example. Cannot answer the original question though. ;)

    Off the top of my head, no I do not. There are 7 different varieties of the Mexico 1733 8 reales. Five of them are R3 (11 to 25 known), R4 (4 to 10 known), and R5 (1 to 3 known) coins. So you are not going to find them on the market very often. And if you do, they will be quite expensive. The other two varieties are S2 coins (100 to 250 known). While easier to find they are not cheap either.

    The 1734 however is a different story. There are only 3 varieties, one an S2, another an R2 (25 to 50 known), and the third is a common coin (C) with over 1,000 examples known. The 1734 C coin should not be hard to find, nor is it expensive.

    If I were you I would contact Dan Sedwick - http://www.sedwickcoins.com/ - or Rick Ponterio - http://stacksbowers.com/ - and ask them to help you find the coins you want. If there is anybody that can do it, it is those 2 gentlemen.
