[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3104159, member: 112"]It isn't often that something that catches my eye actually makes me go looking. But when I saw this I said what, Nuevo Reinos ?, I've never heard of any such mint - and started looking. The first thing I looked at was this - [url]https://coinweek.com/world-coins/colombian-pillar-dollar/[/url] And I said to myself - OK, that explains it. It's been quite a while since I dug into Pillar dollars ! So it makes sense that something actually new, seeing as it's dated 2015, would explain why I'd never heard of it. But then I looked some more and found this - [url]http://www.sedwickcoins.com/articles/colombia.htm[/url] Now I don't know when Dan added that to his website but it was certainly long after I had last been researching Spanish colonial. And given the dates for literature that Dan mentions, and where it all comes from, that explains why I have never seen reference to this mint in any of the many books I own or have owned or the many articles I've read on Spanish colonial. In any event, I learned something new as a result of this post and I'm glad it happened :) Oh, and nice coin ! But I think I've probably said that so many times that it kinda goes without saying :D[/QUOTE]
