<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2320509, member: 42034&quot;]I&#039;ve collected ten 8 escudos to date, not including similar large gold of other denominations (Colombian 16 Pesos &amp; 20 Pesos).&nbsp; 8 are ms, 1 is ms but quite hairlined and one is a rare date in VF-EF.&nbsp; Also I&#039;ve viewed &amp; been outbid on numerous others and have been to the Eliasberg &amp; Milennia auctions in person where I bought some.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will have to say that all I&#039;ve successfully gotten are the early republican designs, some going as high as ms-64. I have bought the minor gold escudos both Colonial &amp; Republican as well as the silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nonetheless I like your&nbsp; 1803 a little better for grade and will have to agree with the graders on these.&nbsp; The 1811 appears to have a little more honest wear and the 1803 is just a cut away from being in mint state.&nbsp; The fields on the 1803 appear to be a little fresher and seem to have a touch of mint luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
