<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 11841531, member: 42034&quot;]Thanks Barberian, you&#039;re completely correct on the fineness at 0.900.&nbsp; I even checked Platt&#039;s book The Coinage of Independent Peru, Vol VI Decimal Silver Coins, 1858-1935.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the info on the Stack&#039;s piece: I had not realized that prices for these had risen. There were a number of transitional pieces issued during that time.&nbsp; I was meaning to pick up the others but haven&#039;t gotten to them yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to lose sight of our original objective but here is a very choice mint state Liberty Seated Dollar-type coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526716[/ATTACH]</p><p>Guatemala, 1 Peso, 1894, unc,&nbsp; Liberty Seated</p><p><br /></p><p>Also purchased before numerical slabbing of world coins became a thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should also add that I&#039;ve quite a few high grade (AU+) US Liberty Seated half-dollars commencing with an 1839 (also bought before any slabbing existed).&nbsp; I&#039;ve been looking for an ms companion to that piece by the way but w/o drapery.&nbsp; None of these have been photoed yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s very interesting to note that the early US became a role model for many Latin American countries and our coinage was widely imitated as they were happy to get away from portraits of the Spanish Kings after Independence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
