<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1577544, member: 42034&quot;]Finally someone posts a pix of a coin which is issued before 1960!&nbsp; I really like the Latam minors as these were the coins that actually circulated in the countries.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been told that the crowns were made for and only saw export to Europe, and possibly the US where they were legal tender here until 1857.</p><p><br /></p><p>These things were produced in such small quantities I wondered how they sufficed.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen the inverted N specimen.&nbsp; I do have an 1830 Bolivian 1/2 sole, [aka 1/2 real] from a Jim Elmen auction described as unc.&nbsp; Has a dark tone but it was just .666 fine which is apparently better than most of the stuff circulating down there at the time.&nbsp; Pix is sl blurry but I dropped my digital camera about 2 months ago &amp; it doesn&#039;t focus well since then.</p><p>[ATTACH]217248.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Have had an incredibly difficult time getting any Chilean Coins, thus I don&#039;t have the 1834 1R but was offered a 33 or 34 8 reales about 4 years ago.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to mention the price!&nbsp;&nbsp; Right now Argentine coins are frequently seen for sale due to their poor economy but never Chilean Coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
