We had a "Bolivian Bonanza" walk in the door today. A guy came in with his fiancee who is Bolivian and her father who spoke no english was with them. Wanted to sell his coins. Some pretty decent stuff in there compared to what I usually see and mostly Bolivian silver with a smattering of Peruvian and a few others. A lot of it holed and will end up as scrap unfortunately but there were 8 older 8 reales that we'll have to research. I don't do much with world coins but picked these up just to say I had them. 1783 2 Reales from Peru. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/forums/2ro.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/forums/2rr.jpg 1808 1 Real from Bolivia http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/forums/1ro.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/forums/1rr.jpg Obviously not sterling examples but an interesting addition to the clembo collection.
