    What you think about spanish colonial reales? I like the bust design and the reverse coat of arms.

    I like them a lot. I wish I would have bought more when they were cheap, along with more pillar dollars. They are getting to be pretty popular, so expect to pay good prices nowadays. I am seeing all good south and central american bringing much stronger prices now than in the past.

    I like them a lot, and they are quite expensive for original problem free examples.

    I always liked the pillar and waves most of all but of the bust designs that one of Ferdinand VII was always my favorite.

    I was also always quite fond of the much older pillar and waves design, minted in the actual home of Hernan Cortez himself.
