Welcome to the boards John, that pillar dollar is a beauty!!

[CyberspaceVoid]

BRG ... nice Cap and Rays

 

If I get out my camera I might take a pic of one of my 50's.

Thanks everyone...here's two more that arrived in today's mail:

 

[jtryka]

I recevied these last weekend, though some might argue these are fantasy pieces since there were never any 50-cent coins struck for ciculation that were 40-mm and silver plated, nor were there ever any $10 1/2-ounce silver coins struck for cilculation, but these were struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, I am so confused, maybe I should run out on the street and ask John Q. Public for help...

 

[nunfa0]

Sweet new coins guys!!

[nunfa0]

The RCM throw out so many coins now, that it is almost impossible to keep up.

 

But anything with the Titanic on it has to be cool!!

Welcome to the forum, John. I share your passion for 8 Reales and primarily focus on Mexico Mint from 1772 to the War of Independence and various provisional mints that appeared in Mexico during the War. Check out my signature set for some toned beauties

 

If you ever have any questions or want to talk about the "pieces of eight" - drop me a PM on the forums.

 

Here's a teaser:

 

1816 Mexico City 8 Reales

 

Cheers,

 

Roman.

If you're interested in learning about a particular coin in the set - let me know.

 

Cheers,

 

Roman.

Not that much into Liberian coins, but found this one that seemed to call out to me ...

 

My photography is getting better too, but I still have a LOT to learn (like dusting before I shoot )!

[brg5658]

Cyber, nice horse!

[TwoKopeiki]

Here's a new one - Mexico 1812 JJ. Used to be in an NGC AU58, now in PCGS AU58:

 

Two sets of images: to show the surfaces and luster.

 

[CyberspaceVoid]

Cyber, nice horse!

 

Thanks, BRG

 

Traveller was a magnificant horse, and he even has his own Wiki page. link This coin is probably one a few minted where you actually know the horse's name.

[nunfa0]

Three awesome newps guys!!

 

Here's mine, a PL66 in an NGC holder

[TwoKopeiki]

Nice one, nunfa0!

[CyberspaceVoid]

Indeed ... puts the 1943 Canadian Geo VI 10 Cent (just a freebie in VF condition) that I got recently to shame! Good pick, nunga0.

 

Pictures of mine aren't going to be posted on here (to protect your eyes!) but the date was hammered!

[nunfa0]

Post away, all coins need love no matter how battered they are.

[brg5658]

Picked this one up for next to nothing. I thought the die crack through the "U" was interesting, as you usually don't find that kind of problem on proof coins.

 

[nunfa0]

Heres another Bluenose, PL65.

[johnny9434]

nice coin all

[brg5658]

Here is a new jeton I got in the mail today. I photographed it using both direct and axial lighting so you can see the colors! I also show a close up of the 3 horses on the reverse!

 

 

 

[nunfa0]

That is AWESOME Brandon!!

[TwoKopeiki]

Beautiful toning on that jeton!

 

Here's another new purchase from Craig Keplinger - 1794 Mexico 8 Reales. AU with a neat strike-through.

 

[nunfa0]

Excellent as always 2K!!

[brg5658]

Roman, great new piece of 8! Love it! Those things are so beautiful ... I have to stop myself from wanting a 3rd one!

Added two more Mexican Coins to my collection: I added some modern Libertad bullion sets that are limited to 1,000 sets...I love the rarity of modern Mexican bullion.

I like the "Personified Sun over Pitosi" design on Bolivian coins. I found this nice example.

Picked this one up tonight and it was a battle! http://boards.collectors-society.com/images/icons/default/ooo.gif
