<p>[QUOTE="Honolulu Dick, post: 931694, member: 24745"]OK!!! That's a mighty fine looking 1791, Carlos the 4th coin. Have one that is much the same, although it is dated 1799 and is from the Potosi, Bolovia mint. Was on a quest to get a sample from each of the major mints ..... Mexico City, Lima and Potosi. For whatever the reason, early coins from the Potosi mint are a bit larger and shade heavier than those from MC and Lima.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the 1890, "freedom cap' sunburst coin is a beauty. Have the same coin and what is curious is that the eagle is facing right. All my others, both modern and early nationhood, have the eagle facing left. Just a bit of uncalled for trivia. Trusting no one takes offense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
