<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2985695, member: 59677&quot;]Sorry, [USER=85251]@IBetASilverDollar[/USER] there isn&#039;t much. I have a casual interest sparked when I bought an NGC Young Numismatist / Treasure Trivia slab that had a Bolivian coin in it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I did is join Numismatics International: <a href="http://numis.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numis.org/" rel="nofollow">http://numis.org/</a> On a good day, they might admit that the United States was a lost colony of some world power or other.</p><p><br /></p><p>They publish a lot of articles on Colonial Spanish coins, translated to English by numismatists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to take away from the organization (do join. $15 digital, $30 postal (US)), the prior NI Bulletins are now archived at the Newman Numismatic Portal - <a href="https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/514285" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/514285" rel="nofollow">https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/514285</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you join NI, you have access to the ones not yet in the NNP and a wonderful index... for example on Spanish Colonial, at random</p><p><br /></p><p>Assayers of the Mint of Mexico During the 16th C.

I think it was in NI, but have no memory of which issue (I read them at random intervals and certainly out of order). But that&#039;s why I&#039;m pointing you at NI.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
