<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jgenn, post: 2940281, member: 78525&quot;]Silver crowns cover a lot of time and types.&nbsp; I only pay attention to pillar and early portrait 8 reales auction prices and I believe the market for VF to low AU certified pieces has been soft for the last five years or so as compared to the previous five years.&nbsp; I agree that higher end 8 reales with great eye appeal have been popular with current buyers.&nbsp; 8 reales were minted in very large quantities -- likely much greater than any other contemporary silver crowns -- so high survival rates for modern collectors should influence prices.&nbsp; Perhaps the market for other types of silver crowns is approaching maturity as demand for lower availability types has its impact on prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
