<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3199811, member: 81093&quot;]Well, I finally got it - my pre 1800 milled Spanish 8 Escudos.</p><p><br /></p><p>It ended up being a 1790 DA, Santiago. 26,99g. Frbg.19</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been saving for over 6 months for this coin. I put a low ball offer in at an auction, not really expecting to win. But there was only one other bidder for it, and they didn&#039;t go hard. I ended up getting it for just over melt value. Truly amazing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very worn (graded by the auctioneer at VF), but I collect coins for the historical value primarily, so a worn coin says to me that it saw lots of trade and exchange of hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]827858[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
