Trip to Central and South America

Kind of reminds me of Charles Keck's Catamount (Vermont Sesquicentennial)........

A lot nicer than mine. Does your have the repunch or shift on the date like mine? Also visible on UAY

 

IMO these modern Chile coins are handsome.

 

I don't know. I selected it from a bowl of worn peso coins from a South American dealer at a Fun show. To be honest, I never inspected the coin closely.

 

More coins of Chile

Here is a 2006 100 Peso and a 1933 1 Peso.

 

Final stop for me, then back home to the USA. This has been a fun vacation and about the least expensive one I have taken in a long time. Thanks to all who came along and shared their collections. we will have to do this again some time.

 

Final coin. Some nice die cracks a nice repunch on the 5.

 

As usual I'm running behind. I'm looking forward to spending these in Uruguay.

 

This 1857 40 centesimos is a surprisingly large coin, and the 10 centesimos is one of my favorites.

 

I hope I don't have to spend these in Chile, because Chile has some of the most attractive coins around.

 

And this is the end of what I am planning to spend on this trip. It's been fun. Adieu to my traveling companions, and have a safe trip home.

 

I am on my way from Montevideo home to Santiago.

Uruguay was hip and modern!

 

So, at home, I leave you with these.

 

Nice overstrike on the 960. Looks like 1813 What? 8 Reales?

 

Yes, the picture posted was overstrike on Santiago 1813 8 reales. I collect these 960 reis overstrikes. I also have one on Peru 8 reales and Santiago 1 peso.

 

Hooray for Uruguay !!

 

Uruguay have some nice funky designs.

 

The 10 pesos are some nice couns when UNC. The 1990 year is a nice collectable where you have the woman angel and O Higgins same year. The angel variety is scarce and if one see it, buy it.
